Now the trade is more equally diffused over the whole year, although the best seasons for sailing from China to England are from November to February; during which period also the bulk of the teas arrive in Canton, and command the largest exports.

Report on the Tea Trade.\n\nA considerable portion of tea was shipped in the month of May 1841, a few days previous to the storming of Canton; and a large portion in June 1841, immediately after the capture and ransom of that city.\n\nThe trade in tea, as well as in other articles of different foreign countries with China, will be given under their respective heads; but it may be useful for comparison to examine the importation and consumption of tea in continental Europe at former periods,\n\nThe quantity of tea consumed in Europe must formerly have been considerable, as it is stated that the quantity of tea exported from China to Europe in 1666 was 17,000,000 lbs., and that in nine years preceding 1780, there were 118,000,000 lbs. of tea imported into the Continent. The average of teas exported from China to Europe in foreign ships for nine years, viz., from March 1772 to 1780 (says another authority), was 13,191,201 lbs. ; the average number of ships, 12.\n\nIn 1785 the importation into the Continent was 19,000,000 lbs.; but in 1796 it had decreased to little more than 2,500,000 lbs. The decline of the tea trade on the Continent will be best seen by the following table, by which it will be perceived that in the latter period there was a falling off of 97,119,724 lbs.\n\nIn 1808-9, &c., I find no account of tea exported from Canton to Europe; the amount having, I suppose, become so small for each country, the names of which are distinguished in this Table. The Americans, as will be seen under the head of \"American trade with China,\" became the chief carriers of tea and eastern produce during the latter years of our war with France, and this trade they still in some degree possess.\n\nYEARS.\nHyson.\nYoung Hyson.\nSkin, Twankay.\nGunpowder.\nImperial.\nGreen.\nTOTAL.\n\n1782\nLbs.\nLbs.\nLbs.\nLbs.\nLbs.\nLbs.\nLbs.\n\nJuly.\n14,695\n18,509\n7,968\n5,121\n3,716\n60,009\n534,999\n\n1783\n\nAugust,\n14,630,200\n19,072,300\n\nSeptember.\n584,123\n135,452\n15,507\n467,626\n299,818\n192,379\n1,694,925\n3,167,269\n\n1784\n16,651,000\n\nOctober.\n3,626,083\n\n1785\n15,715,900\n\nNovember.\n\n27,091\n32,845\n53,259\n167,310\n19,718\n117,224\n317,447\n\nDecember\n\n6,438,979\n\n1786\n10,165,160\n\n1795\n2,759,800\n\n1796\n2,515,460\n98,354\n91,621\n24,519\n621,640\n110,954\n61,770\n1,008,858\n\n1797\n2,714,000\n294,717\n464,507\n106,993\n398,753\n186,404\n81,139\n1,532,513\n\n1798\n4,319,300\n\n1799\n1,577,066\n160,141\n148,605\n32,603\n329,015\n194,032\n129,915\n994,311\n\n1800\n3,968,267\n\nJanuary.\n136,144\n30,225\n15,316\n493,625\n40,354\n29,832\n745,496\n3,749,736\n\nFebruary.\n\n3,133,931\n\n1787\n13,578,000\n\nMarch,\n190,248\n12,623\n11,170\n87,915\n50,924\n27,402\n380,280\n\nApril.\n65,412\n45,623\n24,128\n15,662\n170,320\n\n659,288\n\n1788\n10,675,900\n\n1801\n185,533\n103,792\n135,091\n45,934\n584,561\n51,200\n995,192\n\nMay.\n73,690\n\n1,810,436\n11,131\n1,209,065\n\n327,749\n295,819\n\nJune.\n71,682\n40,419\n\n402,741\n\n4,647,587\n1,954,255\n\n1789\n7,174,200\n\n1802\n5,812,266\n\n1790\n2,291,560\n\n1803\n1,074,266\n\n1791\n\n1,149,406\n687,907\n\n1792\n\n1793\n\n1794\n\nTotal Green\n\n8,789,954\n\nTOTAL EXPORT\n\nLbs. 36,799,905\n\n1804\n3,318,799\n\n1805\n3,462,800\n\n1806\n4,138,930\n\n1807\n\n1,809,466\n1,534,267\n1,144,268\n\nTOTAL\n\n129,852,480\n\nExport to London\n\nBlack.\n\nGreen.\n\nTOTAL.\n\nDitto to Liverpool\n\nLbs.\n\nLbs.\n\nLbs.\n\nDitto to Cork\n\n21,726,461\n\n3,423,170\n\n25,149,631\n\nDitto to Scotland\n\n1,895,001\n\n1,017,688\n\n622,299\n\nTOTAL\n\n28,009,950\n\nBetween\n\nForeign Exportation, the First Period\n\n129,852,480\n\nDitto the Second Period\n\n32,732,758\n\nDecrease on 13 Years\n\nLbs. 97,119,724\n\nOf the Portuguese tea trade I have been unable to get any data; the demand is so trifling that we know nothing of the amount, although Macao, their settlement, at the entrance of the Canton River, has long been the residence of the English tea merchants.

The Consul remarks, that \"other teas are proportionally higher.\"\n\nRoman States-Duty per lb. 11 d., of which one-third is allowed as a drawback on exporting articles in lieu of tea, the produce of the States. Consular Returns.\n\nLubeck.-Duty one-half per cent, ad valorem. Consular Returns.\n\nAt Trieste there is no duty, and at Leghorn it is nominal. The teas, although denominated Souchong and Hyson, are in reality inferior Congous and Ilyson Skin, which may be bought for 9 d. a lb. at Canton. The Consul reports, that 3,000 lbs. left by an American vessel, \"some years ago,\" still remains unsold, and it would be sold at 30 per cent. reduction if buyers could be found for it. Just so it is at Hamburgh and other places, where nominal prices are quoted, but where it would be difficult to find buyers at even half the price named. At Sicily, although the price is 4 s. to 68., the Consul says the tea is \"of a very inferior quality.\" The duty is 1 s. per lb. at Sicily, and 8d. per lb. at Naples.\n\nCanton.

        "content_text": "473\n\nAppendix\n\nReport on the Tea\n\nTrade.\n\n[64]\n\nThe territory in which the large amount of tea consumed in Europe and America is grown is south of the Great Yan-tze-Keang river; the whole region lying between the 27th and 31st degrees of north latitude, and from the sea coast inland for 500 to 600 miles, may be considered capable of producing tea; but the most favoured region is the generally sterile hilly province of Fokien, and the provinces of Keangsoo and Chekeang, between the 25th and 31st degrees of north latitude. This territory, which extends over 350 to 400 square miles, is composed principally of the debris of a coarse granite, and of a ferruginous sandstone, crumbling into decay; but when well comminuted and irrigated, yielding sufficient nutriment for the hardy tea plant (a camellia), whose qualities, like that of the vine, are elicited by the nature of the soil, the elevation, the climate, and the solar aspect to which the shrub is subjected*.\n\nIt is generally stated that green and black teas are produced from the shrubs of the same species, with a slight variety; the leaf of the green being larger and broader than that of the black; the former leaf is rounded, the latter elliptic, flatter, and more coriaceous.\n\nThe cultivation in different soils, the picking of the leaves at different stages of expansion, and subjecting them to greater or less degree of heat and manipulation in drying, is the cause of considerable variety; probably the same difference exists as between the red and white grape, or the black and white currant.\n\nThe shrub is cultivated with great care, planted in quincunx rows, in beds, by seeds, chiefly along the sides of hills with a southern aspect, and on a poor gravelly soil, among the debris of decayed granite and disintegrated sandstone, and where nothing else will grow, and it is used for hedgerows or boundaries.\n\nThe height varies from three to seven feet, and it is very leafy. The flower resembles the wild rose or briar flower, common in English hedges in autumn; the seed vessel is a nut of the size of a small hazel, or rather like the castor-oil nut, but rounder; three red kernels are in each nut, divided by capsules, and from these a quantity of oil, termed \"tea oil,\" is extracted, and used for common purposes by the Chinese. Six or seven seeds are put into each hole when planting; in 12 or 18 months transplantation takes place, and about the third year the leaves are first plucked. At seven years of age the top is cut almost down to the stem (as gardeners do with old currant trees), and a more leafy set of shoots spring up the ensuing year.\n\nThe age of the tree is unknown; it has a useful duration, probably to 15 or 20 years. It is an evergreen, and blossoms from the end of autumn throughout the winter until spring. The leaves are dried by placing them first in flat baskets, and exposing them to the air and a moderate degree of sun. They are then further dried or \"tatched\" in thin pans of iron, heated by a small furnace of charcoal, the leaves being kept constantly turned round by the hand, and rolled or rubbed between the fingers, to give the leaf a rounded form. When sufficiently fired, it is picked and packed for Canton in chops of 100 to 1,000 chests, each chop having marked on it the name of the maker, the district where the tea is grown, its quality, date, &c.\n\nCopper is not used in the preparation of any description of tea; iron pans are solely employed. I visited a tea manufactory five miles above Canton, where about 500 men, women, and children were engaged in converting coarse-looking refuse leaves, into several sorts of green tea. A series of large flat iron pans were placed over a range of furnaces heated by charcoal, in several successive degrees. The teas, which had been previously picked and sorted, were then placed successively in these pans by men, who each rolled them to a certain extent. After passing four or five pans a small quantity of turmeric was sprinkled over the leaves, in a pan highly heated, and in the next pan a blue powder, composed of Prussian blue and gypsum was added, which gave a delicate green bloom to the leaf, which formerly had been of a dingy black or brown hue. The tea was then gradually cooled in large shallow baskets, then placed in a winnowing machine and sifted into different sizes, the smaller being packed and sold as gunpowder or pearl tea. Thus the greatest refuse of tea, or the leaves which had passed through the teapots of the Chinese, were converted into \"Gunpowder,\" \"Hyson,\" and other teas for exportation, as the Chinese never drink green tea. The proprietor of the manufactory told me that the green tea thus prepared was sold to the Americans, who consume but little black tea. It is said to be difficult to detect this coloured tea from the pure, and as the Americans have good tea-tasters at Canton, the English probably receive their share of the adulterated manufacture.\n\nThe names of teas are a very imperfect criterion of their quality. Formerly Bohea was the principal tea in use; now the title is used to designate the lowest description of black tea. It may be useful to indicate the designation of the names in general use. Bohea is an English corruption of the words \"Woo-e,” \"Voo-yee,\" or \"Ba-yee,\" some hills of that name, about 12 miles in circumference, in Fokien, on the borders of Canton province, yielding a common tea of that name, which is gathered three times a year. It is called by the Chinese \"Tacha\" (large tea).\n\nCongo, from \"congfoo,\" labourer, is of a better quality than Bohea, less dusty, and with a rougher and more astringent flavour.\n\nWo-ping teas are so called from a district of that name in Canton province, and when mixed with Bohea form \"Canton Bohea.\"\n\nAnkoi, a coarse tea from the district of that name.\n\nCampoi, from Keinpoi, selected. It is a stronger tea than Congo.\n\nSouche or Caper, from \"swangche,\" double preparation, or \"choolan,\" fragrant pearls. A great deal from Ankoi district.\n\n[65]\n\nSouchong, from \"seaore-chong,\" scarce or small, good thing. It is carefully made from trees three years old, grown in good soil. Older trees, in a similar situation, produce Congo; older still, Bohea and other inferior teas.\n\nThere are different sorts of Souchong, and it is not easy to get this tea pure and good in England. The leaf is of agreeable fragrancy, somewhat like new-made hay; the leaf crisp, of a glossy black colour, and when subjected to boiling water, of a sick-red hue; the liquid is an amber brown.\n\nPeko, or Peho, from \"pih,\" have white petals or hair, so called from being made of leaves, gathered in when the blossoming is over in spring, when there is a whitish hair or down young on the leaf.\n\nThe tea flowers are fragrant mixed with the leaf, and give a fine odour and flavour to the tea.\n\nTwankay, from Tunkay, a district where the tea is generally made. In green teas it corresponds in quality to Congo among black teas.\n\nSinglo, from Sungle, a mountain in Ganhway. Both these teas have large flat leaves, and are not much rolled.\n\nHyson, from \"hechuen,\" genial spring or first crop, when the young leaves are gathered. Hyson Skin, Puha tea skin. In Chinese \"skin\" signifies the refuse. It is formed of the leaves rejected in the preparation of Hyson. The dealers in London give it the name of bloom tea.\n\nYoung Hyson, from \"yee-tseen,\" before the rains. It is a very small leaf. Gunpowder is the picked, small, well-rounded Hyson, like shot, also called Pearl or Imperial tea. Several other teas with new names are being introduced.\n\nThe different teas are prepared roughly by the tea farmers, and then taken to the manufacturers, who prepare and sort the teas according to the districts in which they are grown, the variety and age of the tree, the size and quality of the leaf, &c. The leaves are passed through sieves of different sizes before their quality is determined. The judgment of the manufacturer in selecting and sorting, and the skill of his workman in firing or \"tatching\" the leaf, is of the first consequence. The better quality teas are more frequently roasted, and each leaf separately rolled. The finest descriptions do not reach England; the mandarins pay very high prices for those teas, and their flavour is so delicate that they would not bear four or five months' sweating in the hold of a ship.\n\nThe production of tea for the use of the Chinese middle and lower classes must be very great, as it is used at every meal.\n\nThe tea found in Russia, conveyed by land and river carriage thither, is said to be superior to the tea generally used in England. This may be owing to the leaf being less fired; many of the finest teas drunk in China would not bear five or six months' stowage in the hot and humid atmosphere of the hold of a ship, and therefore the teas conveyed to Europe by sea require to be dried and fired to a degree which must injure their quality. Teas that I drank at Foochoo, Ningpo, and Shanghai were not highly dried, and had a very delicate flavour, when drank as the Chinese do, without milk or sugar; but these teas could not be preserved more than a few months. The Chinese say, that the high dried superior black teas improve in flavour by being closely packed in air-tight leaden cases for one or two years. Some of the finest teas in China scarcely colour the water, and the preparation consists solely in pouring boiling water on a small quantity of the leaves placed in a teacup, fitted with a close cover; among the highest classes a silver strainer is placed at the bottom of the teacup. Tea made up into balls, or compressed into the form of bricks, or of flat cakes, is exported to Tartary, Tibet, Burmah, &c., boiled with milk, and constitutes an agreeable and nutritious beverage.\n\nThe constituent properties of tea are,\n\n  \n    \n    Black\n    Green\n  \n  \n    Tannin\n    40.6\n    34.6\n  \n  \n    Vegetable albumen\n    6.4\n    5.7\n  \n  \n    Mucilage\n    6.3\n    5.9\n  \n  \n    Insoluble fibre\n    44.8\n    51.3\n  \n  \n    Loss\n    2.0\n    2.5\n  \n\nThe tannin blackens salts of iron. The proportions of tannin must vary with the quality of the tea. A salifiable base, named \"theine,\" in regular colourless crystals, has been obtained from tea.\n\nThe ashes of black and green teas yield silex, carbonate of lime, magnesia, chloruret of potash. In distillation tea yields a volatile oil, and according to some, a small quantity of resin, soluble in alcohol, and possessing the odour of tea. The effects of tea on the human system are, first stimulant, and then narcotic, according to the strength of the beverage. In moderation tea is an excellent diluent; it promotes digestion, and stimulates the renal glands. The constant use of tea, however, in large quantities, especially by persons living on a poor vegetable diet, is not favourable to physical strength or nervous energy, and to persons engaged in sedentary employments and imperfectly alimented, the frequent imbibing of \"tannin\" has a decided and manifest pernicious effect. How far the excessive use of strong tea in China, by alternately elevating and depressing the nervous system, may have led...\n\nPage 480\n\nPage 481",

I ask for the purpose of laying my complaint before the Secretary of State, and the Supreme Court, and the Imperial Parliament: What became of the surplus?\n\nI have been told that my enquiry is considered an eccentric one.\n\nI again and finally ask, with all respect, that a better answer is prepared to justify that response, either directly or by refusing to interfere with it.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir,\n\nYour Obedient Servant,\n\n(Signed) A.

        "content_text": "## THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE.\n\n### VICTORIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24th, 1857.\n\n#### LATEST DATES\nEng Nov. 19; San Francisco, Dec. 21; Singapore, Jan. 13; Manilla, Nov. 13; Jan. 14\n\n#### CHINESE CHANTUNG\n11 Muia, Gish Days\n\nAs soon as each division of the city is closed, and gates are set up, appointing a man to keep the gate, examining those who are passing and reporting should anything fearful occur, let the gates be shut and lugs to prevent thieves from doing mischief.\n\nAgain, in the several divisions of the city let a strict examination be made, and in every row where disorderly women live let them be shut in all defences; and when they have suspicious strangers, weapons, and other instruments, as ferrets, let them be searched for daily.\n\nTowards the Wells—in each division of the Town where there are wells, let a watchman be appointed by night and day to watch it, some person reputed or recommended by some one who knows his faithfulness, in order to guard against the treacherous putting in poison; opening at six o'clock in the morning and closing at six in the evening. Let the owners of water pay 3 cash per load for the water man's wages.\n\nFire—Hongkong ought to put up a reward or prize for any who shall seize a water or miscreant in any Mandarine's employment; and when masters of these shall be convicted under evidence, let a reward of hundred dollars be given to the informer.\n\nAlso, should any shop or dwelling house for want of care allow fire to kindle, let the offender be taken up and receive a thrashing of one hundred blows, made to carry it for three months correction, for not being careful against fire and the sin of involving others. Thus by the establishment of such a rule, men would certainly be careful against the grievous accident with catching animosity.\n\nBarbarians—At present the Mandarines of China have laid an embargo on Hongkong—prohibiting intercourse. Vessels going and passing boats from the neighboring places around perhaps come, perhaps not; perhaps several unite in coming together, to guard against the sea pirates they thus unite. Now the Mandarines have put out a proclamation prohibiting the Chinese from coming to Hongkong, but permitting their return home. We hear it stated that the Mandarines have thus fixed the time to the 1st month of next year—February 1857—before which none are to go or come; if they do they are to be seized as transgressors, and dealt with accordingly. Now although the hoted time has not arrived, still all the vessels that arrive at Hongkong, whether from city or village, should be carefully examined by some trusty conductor of a government boat, as to their business, whence from, name and surname, their age and appearance, and where they intended going in Hongkong; of which write in a book by which there will be a means of examining into the matter. Also, let each vessel examined for soldiers, implements of war, or other suspicious instruments. Examine the oven on board, whether they have anything suspicious in their appearance, and search their persons to see if they have any daggers about them, or any traitorous letters or clues of wicked devices, instantly examining everything on board, after which allow them to go on shore. As the present is a time of war, if there are traitors among the people of Hongkong, many of them rebels taking refuge; besides the men without employment will be many, poor and it is difficult for these to accept to any other occupation. The thieves, though numerous, will be found willing to observe the Laws, and will certainly not be the disturbers of the peace. Their machinations are at war, and it will be found exceeding difficult to effect a translation—apparently the subtle proclamation broadcast over the English were to select a crew of sturdy lads among those who frequent the brothels dispersed over the City. These are principally boasted above spies. Whichever is virtuous, without reference to his claracter, enrolling him as an assistant with $7, $5, $3, implements, the patriotic and bold, and act in unison leader, as actor, may take lodgings in them. No. suppose at and finds; for certain there are such among these, the same time was set above state everywhere capable of leading forward the past to the conquest where there are prostitutes, as the sign.

Suppose the Mandarines and gentry should secretly and in concert at a given time to set fire to the prostitutes' houses, poison the wells, and make an united attack both from the kind and out.\n\nMoreover, they would break the Embargo, placed on Hongkong and also in cutting off supplies, we fear all the dire that like an hell become a reality.\n\n| Jan.

        "content_text": "## SUPPLEMENT.\n\nbelonging to the Thistle at the time of the massacre, and a belonging to the shop on the 15th January by Mr Tarant and Mr Macilreath. They all three have known him in his two-fold capacities. Too \n\nsubjected the prisoners to such cruelty will be severely censured by the Government; but we may believe, Gentlemen, that it is without the knowledge of Mr Mercer or H.M. Government. I treat with disdain the insinuations thrown out against me by Dr Bridges, as I feel assured my character is too well established in my \n\nry at the time in question. The 4th has been proved by Mr Duddell and the boy. The 5th, a servant to the Consulate of this Colony. Further, the 7th and 8th prisoners by Mr Daddell and several of the Chinese witnesses. The 9th has been identified as Alum, the Master of the Bakery. The 19th has been recognised as having been suspected as an assistant at the retail shop.\n\nsome time reproaches have been cast upon the Government for not meeting the exigencies of the present crisis with adequate spirit; and the great question in every one's mouth, and has not yet died away, is not \"martial law proclaimed!\" And now that a little vigour is being shown, we are denounced for cruelty and injustice!\n\nIt is not hard to conceive why a different course should be taken, or that in the present disturbed state of the Colony, Asiatics should not be allowed the same privileges as Europeans. Is it not consistent with all that is passing around us to assert that the awful crime perpetrated was by the influence of the Mandarins? And who can hear of the atrocities that have been committed towards Her Majesty's subjects without shuddering, or after the rewards that have been offered for the head of any European without distinction as to his standing by the Chinese authorities at Canton, would not infer upon them as having been the signs of the late attempt to poison this entire Community? And yet, forsooth, the Counsel for the prisoners has told you, Gentlemen, that it is wrong to accuse the Mandarins of being the instigating source. It is a fact that might pass current up to Peking.\n\nThe darkest crime the Newgate Calendar contains bears no comparison to the case now before your notice, Gentlemen. What reward, I ask you, do you think the prisoner Alum would have received, and what could have induced him to have committed such a diabolical attempt? It has been argued that the prisoner's affairs were in a hopeless state of bankruptcy. What would have been his reward? Do you not think that had his crime been successful, he would not have been a high Mandarin at Canton, and that if the crimes that had been conceived to have been committed by him in his countrymen's eyes would have been wiped out, and the past forgiven for ever? Would any one have disapproved if a different course had been pursued towards the prisoners, and instead of allowing them a trial, which such wretches do not deserve, they had been dealt with in a summary manner, and had suffered the short and sharp pangs of death which they had intended we should suffer? Their crime deserved the fate of a traitor's count; but much, Gentlemen, as you may agree that they are before a jury as laid before you, I am bound to tell you, if any reasonable doubt of their guilt rests upon your minds, you are bound to acquit. \"But, Gentlemen, it will not be your duty to stretch the points set up for their defence to too great a length, and in the opinion I feel certain the Bench will concur.\n\nIt was Gentlemen, who advised the Government and Mr Mercer to conduct the investigation as they did. Had the case been sent to the Police Court, what would have been the consequences? Why, the various technicalities of the Law would have led to postponements from week to week, and such postponements would have been most deleterious to the ends of justice. The investigation, I affirm, required to be carried on with the utmost secrecy, or the Government would not have been able to obtain information sufficient to convict them. It is much to Mr Mercer's credit that he came forward and acted as an extra official in his capacity of J.P. at the investigation; and the Government have acted most judiciously in the course they have adopted. The investigation was held in a manner...and that is the reason why it was held. Every means has been adopted by the Government to find out any facts that might transpire, and to bring the diabolical attempt made against this Community home upon the heads of the perpetrators of it. And again, to commit the prisoners at the bar, and not encumber the Justices of the Peace whose hands were full of business.\n\nThe manner in which the case has been conducted is highly creditable to Messrs Mercer and May, for the pains they took to elicit the truth. They obtained evidence sufficient as they thought, and though, to commit the 10 prisoners...\n\n5. The reason the prisoners have been detained by Government being Government is because they are considered improper persons to be at large among the community by Ordinance No 2-1837. I hope either this explanation or no further reflection may be past over Mr Mercer's conduct. I also trust that the report published in our papers this morning may be found to be exaggerated, and that those who are guilty of the alleged cruelties will be brought to justice. At all events, I can assure you, Gentlemen, that I know nothing about it.\n\nI propose now to call your attention to the leading facts of the case as it has been placed before you, and you will not feel wearied, I hope, if I endeavour to point out to you how the various evidence given during the last three days is connected, and how that although the Counsel for the prisoners tried to rebut the evidence, he has rather gone to strengthen the evidence of the prisoners' guilt. I alluded to my opening address on the 1st day of the inquiry, in which I intimated that I would be bringing before your notice such a body of proof as it would be impossible to disprove; and we have done so. Though I must herealong express my thanks to Mr Comper Turner and Mr May for the valuable assistance they have rendered.\n\nHaving cleared the way so far, the learned Gentleman said that as they all were connected with the shop on that day, they must have all connived at the poisoning of the bread.\n\nAnother contract to supply H.M. Commissariat with 100,000 lbs. of bread, and another to supply the U.S. Stores with 108,000 lbs. of biscuit. To do all this, Alum had only $1220 in the chest, and 8,000 lbs. of bread on his premises. Mr Duddell's and Mr Foster's connection with Alum's business is curious. There is to be a partnership between them.\n\neven tells you that when Alum was arrested, he did not consider himself in debt to Alum to any large amount; and you see at the present time he owns himself considerably in his debt. He does not know how the accounts stand. They have been running on for years. There was never a balance struck between them. It was a running account. There is my story in a nutshell - a miscellaneous business.\n\nto me about this manner of carrying on business altogether! \n\nThe great evidence of Mr Pastan, their Cheque de Bataille, who does it all amount to? Moonshine - for you heard yourself how the man quaverated over it, and that what evidence he did give was forced from him by me. I extorted from him by my cross-examination that Alum did not pay him voluntarily, and, Gentlemen, may he not be allowed to draw inferences from facts? So much then for the temptation to commit the crime - it was irresistible. What inducement might Alum afford to sacrifice his brilliant position here when before him stood the bonus of $9000 and the button of a Mandarin of the third class? Wait - (the learned gentleman was here checked by Dr Bridges, who protested most emphatically upon any draft on the imagination - there was not one word in evidence of any reward having been offered - not a word of a Mandarin's button). The Attorney General continued - True - nothing had been given in evidence regarding the reward beyond the rumour alluded to by Mr Dawson - but the jury and the Court could draw inferences when they were evident from the evidence, and inferred from the mass of incoherent perjuries that had been given in the defence.\n\nthe proportion to have been a drachm of arsenic to a pound of bread. If so, there must have been 10 lbs. of arsenic put in the quantity of bread that was baked, and it would be impossible for any one to have mixed that quantity unknown to the overseers, and without the knowledge of those in charge and employed in the shop. At the same time, he asked, had their conduct been such as to leave any doubt regarding their guilt? Dr Harland has informed you that he analyzed the bread and found one drachm of arsenic, but 6 grains in every pound loaf; and by this fact, as elicited, strong presumption that if Alum did not put the arsenic actually in the flour himself, he must have known of its having been put in. I have traced the bread to Deimspier, and I proved that he was poisoned by it. Now, Gentlemen, you must agree with me, I think, that a prima facie case has been established by the Crown. You have, Gentlemen, proof before you of Alum's having been at the bakery on the 14th between the hours of 4 and 6 a.m., at the time the dough was mixed. You have the fact that when the bread left the shop for delivery on January 16th, Alum and his family were attending in the shop. If you believe the evidence you have heard, can you suppose they knew nothing about the poisoning? Another remarkable feature is that poison was found in both white and brown bread delivered. The poison could not have been mixed in the yeast or in the flour, for the most careful tasters would have detected it. Then it must have been mixed up with the dough. Mr Drinker tells you that he left Alum in the dark room at the very time that the men were employed mixing the dough there, and one of the prisoners' witnesses confirms these facts by admitting that the dough was mixed that day at 4 p.m., the very hour of the prisoner's visit. Another stronger proof of Alum's knowledge of the poisoning is that after being told of Aheep's unwillingness to give evidence at the Coroner's inquest on the body found on the Thistle, (Alum) did not dismiss him from his service, but took him into his more intimate confidence, and placed him in a higher post of trust.\n\nMr Tarraut tells you how he warned his servant, as he saw Aheep on that day cavorting in such a situation of trust, though too late, not to take any raw bread from Eating-op, as he had his suspicion that Aheep was concerned in and had conspired at the Thistle massacre. You have thus brought home to Alum, then, the fact of his having been present at the mixing of the dough used in making the bread, at the very moment when the 10 lbs. of arsenic were being mixed up with it; you have this further fact that the dough of which the confectionary was made that day, probably the very dough of which Alum's children's bread were made, was not poisoned. Dr Harland discovered that fact, and I think this body of evidence irresistible.\n\nAlum made his grand stand to prove his innocence, upon his intention to remain - the condition of his affairs, the contracts he had entered into, and the amount of property he held in Hongkong. But the Attorney General knew that he hazarded little when he told the Jury on the last day that he would refute the evidence for the whole of the prisoners - but he would call the attention of the Jury more particularly to the chief prisoner, Alum, and leave the residue to their consideration hereafter. In Alum's statement, he says he had no intention of leaving Hongkong. Now Mr Dixson said Alum had said he thought he should have to go to Singapore. Mr Da Silver, too, told me that Alum told him he thought he meant to leave Hongkong. At Mauzow, the head pirate concerned in the old last robbery was fortunately captured on his way to Singapore, and there is very little doubt that the prisoner Alum was on his way to that Ultima Thule. He told Mr Stephanson he was not going; to Mr Edwards, he said the same. This, Gentlemen, I am about to tell you is an extraordinary fact - that upon Mr Edwards appearing suspicious at Alum's conduct, he at once concluded a contract for flour and bought it at an exorbitant price, paying Mr Edwards for the higher price, he being reminded.\n\nAlso, he knew the punishment that awaited him if he remained home to settle down, and that if he did not take the signal proof to show the Mandarins he was no friend of the Barbarians.\n\nTo remain in Hongkong, we have heard repeatedly. The mat maker received the order from Mr Stephenson 18 days before he returned it again dishonoured, and if Alum's circumstances were in such a flourishing state, why did he not pay the $250, the amount of that order? I wish to know how he could go and engage to supply the Commissariat with 100,000 lbs. of bread and the United States with 108,000 lbs. of biscuit on the very day he had not enough money in his possession to buy the first bill, unless it was in case the poisoning failed and he was taken, and to help Alum in his defence.\n\nThe papers, or title deeds, as Dr Bridges has called them, which were found in the chest are not in his name. They belong to the Cheong tribe, of which he is a member, (but not to him in all trust). It is probable that the $1200 which were found there too did not belong to him, but to a relation, and therefore he dared not touch it. But these papers prove nothing. It is in evidence that the last receipt for rent is sufficient proof of title to land in China - and where is the last receipt for rent? He knew that his family were not safe from punishment while he was in Hongkong; he knew that there were 63 Mandarins in Hongkong; he knew that while he was in Hongkong, he was in the midst of a set of robbers; and, Gentlemen, as I have stated before, without committing some heavy crime against the Barbarians as a proof of his allegiance to the Mandarins, home he dared not go! So much then for the motives recognised as great efforts of virtuous reparation.\n\nNow let us look to his conduct after the crime was done. Was it the conduct of an innocent and unconscious man? He departed in haste for Macao. On his way, he was bailed from a boat by a man he knew well on that morning of the 15th January; he turned his hand away, so that he should not be seen 50 feet from him. But he took the bread on board. That person you heard was not more with him, forsooth a Chinaman does not eat bread, you know! Why, then, did he take nothing but bread on board the steamer for his family - and why on that day did he evince such a partiality for bread? Mr Mackenzie has told you that during the 13 days that Alum has been in his custody, he has never eaten or asked for bread. He says that when his family were taken sick, he sent one of his servant boys to tell the Captain of it, which the Captain has denied, and if his statement is true, why has the refutation not been produced in Court? Gentlemen, you see plainly he sent no message; he could have spoken if he had wished to the gaoler through the bars, or to some of the officers; you naturally suppose from the evidence of the child's sickness being so much for his defence that they were only slightly sick, as the nurse has told you that she and they were quite well after...\n\npayment should not be made until the month of landing in Hongkong. Of the Chinese, Gentlemen, the prisoner Alum knew when he made that contract that before that day became due, he would either be a dead man or a high Mandarin in Canton.\n\nhave been brought before your notice - none have suffered the same effect as Europeans. They have had good...of the pains - none of the symptoms of arsenic with which the Europeans have been afflicted, and, as you have heard, not recovered from the effect of it. The Chinese constitution can allow them a day or two, as he was \"hard up\", might be so very different from that of ourselves, as these circumstances are very remarkable. You, Gentlemen of the Jury, are bound to believe that he told the truth about his intention of leaving this Colony. Do you doubt for one minute that a Chinaman could blind the Chinese? Are not the Chinese spies everywhere - is it not a well-known fact that we cannot keep a secret from them? What should keep him is such I dread at the particular time Mr Edwards called - were not his sons...\n\nhave been old that they would state, Is it not remarkable that Alum's statement satiates the inquiry and blunts \"the European with the low burning of the Chinese!\" But that statement has been proved to be false. You have heard that...\n\nhe owes. Mr Edwards a larger sum of money - to Mr Foster, he owes $900, to Mr Pastan $15,000. To Mr Edwards and Mr Stephenson, he is also indebted to large amounts. He boasts that he had one contract in hand, 27,000 lbs. to 8,000 lbs. of biscuit to Messrs Tao, Bang & Co.\n\nespecially Mr Cooper Turner, who wants constantly going up and down stairs? You heard his services without either fee or reward, and I have great satisfaction in saying that to Mr Forney, he did have taken more pains or spent more time than he has done in making some of the information which passes.\n\nThere is plenty of unprincipled prisoners, and the fact that the bread came from the Eung shop on the 15th Jan. and the connection of the shop and the bakery, have been fully proved. The 1st prisoner has been identified by Mr Wray, and Mr Lopraik, as being in and belonging to the shop on the morning of the 16th January. The 2nd has been proved by Mr Dixson...\n\nto be able to take poison and quickly be a little sick afterwards. Again, Gentlemen, who ever heard of a Chinese waiting till 11 a.m. before he had his breakfast, and at that very breakfast to betray such a marvellous passion for bread? You may suppose from this that it was either a falsehood that the people were sick, and it must be that it was maly sea-sickness.\n\nMr Robinet has told you that when he arrested Alum, he, Alum, said, \"Any man have dishonoured Hong Kong, must...\".\n\nThe whole of Alum's statement, Gentlemen, although well got up, you can now see is a tissue of perjury. The indictment is similar in one point of view to that of Whalley at the York Assizes of 1817; namely, that the abject attempt made has been signally exposed by the medical testimony. There, the radical evidence exculpated the falsehood of the charge - here, it establishes its truth. Yet this case is far stronger than that. There, the only thing that saved Whalley was the manner in which the prosecutrix described the symptoms of her pretended suffering. Doctors Thackrah and Walker declared they could not have been the effect of arsenic. The arsenic was found in the testes, and in the several tampons which the prosecutrix had contrived to produce...\n\nthat the...\n\nShe had mixed the arsenic with poisonous substances besides, and upon being cross-examined, she has confessed she had done so to convict Whalley of the pretended rape. Here, in the present case, the Chinese that profess to have suffered have not said it as plain to every man that Alum's statement is a perjury throughout. Gentlemen, I do not take an interest in their conviction, or that I can treat such men as these impartially. Notwithstanding the taunts and unmanly interruptions to which I have been subjected...\n\nThe learned Gentleman had just before been interrupted by Dr Bridges with an emphatic expression at some passage - it was not; and as the Doctor's words were in the teeth of the Judge's notes, Mr Anstey remarked that though Dr Bridges had fact for his authority, it was unmannerly so to express himself - and that as he had not fact for his authority, it was detecting an epithet he would not bestow on it.\n\nI have, I am sure, in indicating the difference between a real and a pretended case of poisoning - the guilt of the prisoners, Gentlemen, is established by their own defence; and I feel certain if they are acquitted, the Chinese will look upon the British Authorities with contempt. You have seen one man, Aheep, who was present at the Thistle massacre, escaping the ends of justice by the technicalities of the British law; and soon after, you find him uding in attempting to perform another tragedy only on a larger scale. Gentlemen, a clearer case of guilt could never be arrived at by circumstantial evidence; and I fear assured you will find it your duty to convict.\n\nBut I will not attempt to conceal that I have an anxious presentiment as to the probable result. I will not allude to the several unmanageable circumstances that have attended the defence; but I fear that I have not said sufficient to clear away the glamour thrown over your eyes by the opposing Counsel. I repeat, I am doubtful as to the result; and if it should be that you return a verdict of acquittal, I can but tell you that I feel such a verdict will be a great - an unappreciable calamity in this small community. We have first the commission of a great crime, and for that crime, no punishment. Such a verdict would set a precedent in this Colony. Let it once be seen that the law is power...\n\nlet it be established in the Chinese mind that this Court has not the power to check deeds like those unless they are convicted, and carried into execution in the trust or the most public place - then, no longer is the life of a European safe in the Colony; and it will not require the skill of the prophet to number the days of those now present. And there will be another calamity, or rather, (for it exists in some sort already) - it will be made strong and enduring again! The impression is that our administration of justice is corrupt, that our criminal jurisprudence designs not the chastisement of the great men of Tai-ping-shan, and deals only with low and petty offenders; that the laws of England have no terror in their threats for men wealthy and wise enough to submit to the exactions of their prosecutors, and that a judicious prodigality in the matter of fees and costs will always purchase immunity. If the opinion is unfounded, be it your part, Gentlemen, to disabuse them of their error.\n\nThe Attorney General here resumed his seat, and it must have given him great satisfaction to hear by the stamping of feet that the public felt thankful to him for the pains he had taken to bring the guilt home to Alum and his fellow prisoners.\n\nThe Court adjourned for 18 minutes, and on resuming, his Lordship, the Judge, addressed the Jury to the fact that it would be their duty to expunge from their minds anything they might have read or heard outside the Court. Alum had been shown to have been at the bakery the afternoon of January 14th, while the dough was being mixed, and if the Jury thought that he had mixed the poison, or ordered it to be mixed, or had any knowledge about it, they must adjudge him guilty. His Lordship then read over the whole of the evidence and Alum's statement (which will be found below), after which he said, if they were of opinion that it was false about his family being sick, it would be prima facie proof of his guilt; as if, on the contrary, they thought they had been poisoned, there would be a prima facie reason for believing him innocent. This, however, was for them to judge. His Lordship then said that as the Attorney General had explained every part of the evidence so clearly to them, it would be useless for him to go over it again. The Jury retired then for 30 minutes, and on their return into Court, returned a verdict of Not guilty by a vote of 9 to 4, which was received with hisses.\n\nThe Judge looked at the Attorney General, and the Attorney looked at the Judge, but as the prisoners were acquitted, they must be discharged. Before they left the hall, however, they were again arrested, and taken to gaol as suspicious persons.\n\n## ALUM'S STATEMENT.\n\nCheong Alum, his statement - being duly cautioned, saith - With regard to the poisoning of the bread, he is entirely ignorant - but the bread is made in one part of the oven, and he lives in another.\n\nTo Mr Dawson, he said - he never had any idea of doing such a thing, but just declared the contrary. To him, he had pretended that it was only a pigeon, and that a little medicine would make all proper. But what is incoherent and bewildering. To the same Mr Dawson, he also confessed that the reason why the offer of the 60 dollars was made to Cheung, had been because...\n\nthat he having eaten of that morning for Macao, was considered on board, as an argument of his guilt.\n\nHe came to the Colony at only 18 years of age - he was first employed by Mr Bigelow, whereby afterwards went to California; after that by Mr Franklyn; then by Morrison, Stephenson & Co.; then by Mr Da Silver, for whom he made biscuits, as well as did other business. He some time afterwards purchased a machine for making biscuit, and then another from Mr Daddell, for $1,800; and as these were insufficient, he purchased sugar...\n\nSee back, page No. 17.\n\nIndigen.\n\nLogsp.\n\n10030 Trong không \n\nGovernment Offices, Hong Kong \nof the Tophers in 1875 \n\nThe Chief Magistrate having applied for certain Law Books as will be seen from the enclosed: his letter to the Colonial Secretary, I have the honor to request that...\n\nThe Right Honorable \nHenry Labouchere, M.P. \n...",

I attended the sale. Mr Caldwell was also present. During the progress of the sale I saw a China boy come up and speak to Mr Caldwell, who was standing by my side I think at the time. Mr Caldwell turned round to me and said he had an authority or commission to bid. I asked him for which house and he pointed to one, but I do not know its number. He did bid after that, and I think I remember him signing the paper as purchaser. I think that the conversation referred to between Mr May and myself took place about three or four months ago. To the best of my belief I was remonstrating with Mr May as to the objections he invariably made to any suggestion which originated, or which he supposed to originate, with Mr Caldwell. Then Mr May said he would have no objection to take Mr Caldwell's place, and that Mr Caldwell should take his. I do not recollect Mr May's saying anything about such arrangement benefitting Her Majesty's Government. When Ma-chow Wong was first apprehended, Mr May disavowed having any hostility toward Mr Caldwell, but not I think upon this occasion. I am certain that the remark as to Mr Caldwell's hatred towards Mr May was not made to me on that or any other occasion.\n\nI remember an inquiry concerning a charge against Mr May of not putting down a notorious brothel. In March last one Atay was charged before the Magistrate with keeping an unlicensed brothel out of the brothel district under the following circumstances: Having had my attention drawn by a person in no way connected with the government to the fact that certain brothels were allowed out of the district, and in particular to one in the neighbourhood of Mr Murray's house--I saw Mr May, and requested him to cause this brothel to be put down. We had some conversation on the subject, and about a week afterwards finding that nothing had been done, I desired Mr Caldwell to do what I had requested Mr May to do. Mr Caldwell took certain steps which led to the keeper of the house being brought up before the Chief Magistrate. I had also certain reasons to believe that Mr May was in the habit of frequenting a house in the immediate vicinity of this brothel, and I was determined that the fact should be elicited, if possible, at the investigation before the Magistrate. I attended as a spectator, and as Mr Caldwell gave his evidence without in any way referring to Mr May or to such house, I requested the Magistrate to put such questions to Mr Caldwell as would elicit these facts, which I intended to bring to the notice of the Governor. The Magistrate did put the question; the facts were elicited; and also the belief of Mr Caldwell that the woman living in the brothel had escaped therefrom into the house frequented by Mr May. On the following day a letter was received by me, being also addressed to the Attorney General and Chief Magistrate, making a violent attack upon Mr Caldwell for the insufficiency of the grounds upon which he had supposed that the woman could escape into the house already referred to, and also attacking the motives from which the statement had been made. I wrote in consequence to Mr May either on that or the following day, explained the circumstances under which Mr Caldwell had given his evidence, and laid the whole matter before the Governor. This letter was written on the 11th March, and entirely exculpated Mr Caldwell from having brought the matter forward, and shewing that what he did was on my action.\n\nMy report to the Governor bringing certain charges against Mr May, and Mr May's charges against Mr Caldwell, were referred by His Excellency to the Chief Magistrate, who made two reports, the first blaming both Mr May and Mr Caldwell, the second being on consideration of the blame upon Mr Caldwell, an exculpation of him. Letters were written by order of His Excellency, conveying his decision both to Mr May and Mr Caldwell. The letter from His Excellency to Mr May was in the nature of a very severe reprimand. There were two letters to Mr Caldwell; the first on the occasion of the Chief Magistrate's report was also a severe reprimand, and that upon the reconsidered report was in exculpation of him. I omitted to state that the woman Atai was convicted by the Magistrate.\n\nCross-examined, I took considerable part as a friend in the arrangement of Mr Caldwell's affairs, at the suggestion of His Excellency the Governor. I went round to the various creditors who appeared favourably disposed towards him, and the arrangement was in a great measure, I think, effected through my instrumentality. I did not undertake this professionally, only as a friend. I have no recollection of preparing documents connected with the settlement. I advised him to make a declaration to the effect that a part of the property standing in his name was not in fact his, but was held by him as trustee for another person, having been bought with money belonging to another person. This I did in consequence of a statement to that effect made to me by Mr Caldwell. I do not know whether that declaration was ever made, nor can I recollect ever having seen the draft; I may have drawn it myself, but have no recollection of so doing.\n\nI think it very probable that the objection made by Mr May to which I have referred was as to the appointment of a distinct party of the Police to act under the Brothels Ordinance under Mr May's superintendence. The reason assigned by him was, that such employment of the Police would lead to their corruption. I have an impression that I have seen this remark of Mr May in writing. Before the examination at the Police Court, Mr Caldwell communicated to me that Mr May's name was likely to be called in question. Mr Caldwell expressed his unwillingness to be brought into collision with Mr May, but I insisted on Mr May's conduct being brought forward, as I thought it a matter of public importance. I did not inform Mr May of the communication I had received from Mr Caldwell. Mr May could not have informed me that he was unwilling to interfere with Mr Caldwell in the carrying out of the Brothels' Ordinance, because it was part of the duty of the Police to do so.\n\n( 21 )\n\nwould lead to their corruption.

I did not inform Mr May of the communication I had received from Mr Caldwell. Mr May could not have informed me that he was unwilling to interfere with Mr Caldwell in the carrying out of the Brothels' Ordinance, because it was part of the duty of the Police to do so.\n\nI do not remember any such occasion when I in reply to Mr May said, “I suppose if it is my wish that you and the Police should assist in carrying out the Ordinance, it will be done.\" I am convinced no such conversation could ever have taken place.\n\nPersonally I have not ascertained the exact relative positions of Atai's house, and the house said to have been frequented by Mr May, but I believe the one is two or three doors from the other. I do not know the houses by sight, and do not know whether they are in the same street.\n\nWith reference to charges 4 and 16 I would suggest that a Chinese female Assow can give evidence, and also Mr Inglis, governor of the Gaol.\n\nThe Brothel Ordinance is as to part under the special Superintendence of the Superintendent of Police, and as to part under that of the Registrar General. The Registrar General has had much more to say to it than he would have had, but for the positive resistance offered by Mr May. Finding that I could not get anything done by one officer, I was obliged to resort to another. It is the sole duty of the Registrar General to license the brothels, and it is the duty of both Registrar General and Superintendent of Police to prevent any violation of the law; but it is the special duty of the Superintendent of Police and the Police force, to confine the brothels to the proper district, and take care that none exist out of it. I do not mean that this duty is expressly defined by the Ordinance, but it arises out of the general duty on the part of the Police to prevent any violation of any existing law. There are special duties assigned to the Registrar General by the Ordinance, such as Registration, licensing, receiving money, and sending women to Hospital. The only special duty assigned by the Ordinance to the Superintendent, is having charge of constables under the Ordinance, if such should be appointed.\n\nRe-examined, I heard Mr Grand Pré's evidence. I saw his letter of appointment. He was therein appointed as second in rank in the Registration Office, to have special charge of the Collection of Police Rate, and to assist when not so employed in the business of the Registration Office. I know of my own knowledge, that the houses let by Mr Grand Pré to Atsoo were not occupied by her till about or after the passing of the Brothel Ordinance. I am speaking from my recollection of a cursory reading of the letter. There was no connection between Mr Caldwell and Mr Rienaecker to my knowledge, except that they were jointly interested in the Eaglet.\n\nOn the 9th or 10th of March last my name had been mentioned at the Police Court, and been brought into question during the progress of the investigation of a charge brought by the Registrar General against a brothel keeper. I had not received any intimation from the Acting Colonial Secretary or from the Registrar General that my name or conduct was in any way connected with the inquiry. The reference to my name was that certain women were stated by the Registrar General to have escaped from the house of a brothel keeper, into a house in which I was said to have an interest. I positively disclaimed having any interest at all in any house in any way connected with the brothel keeper prosecuted by the Registrar General; and having examined a particular house said to be the house alluded to, I found it utterly impossible for women to have got from one house into the other. I thereupon wrote to the three Justices of the Peace who sat on the Bench at the time of the investigation, viz., the Chief Magistrate, the Attorney General, and the Acting Colonial Secretary, complaining of the untruthfulness of the charge as against the owner of the house, and begging that they would remove from the case any evidence supposed to connect one with the other. I also complained of the use made of my name wantonly, unnecessarily, and when not pertaining to the case at issue. I enclosed in that letter a report from Inspector Jarman, stating, as the result of his examination of the premises, that it was impossible women could have got from one house to the other. I got an answer from the three Justices of the Peace: two of them expressing their conviction that the alleged escape from one house to the other was incorrect, and I got a letter from the 3d Justice, the Acting Colonial Secretary,\n\nCHARLES MAY, Superintendent of Police,-Recalled. I know that the houses which I stated to be brothels were in fact so, from seeing prostitutes in the windows and doorways. I was Acting Assistant Magistrate from November 1856, to February 1857, and from June to November 1857. During those times I had no opportunity of seeing the houses. At the other times I am certain that 2 or 3 houses on lot 206 were brothels. With reference to the comer house of which I spoke, I do not",

I will follow the initial instruction set that implies Markdown formatting.\n\n2. **Correct spelling errors**: Many words are not recognizable or are misspelled. Correction is challenging without context.\n\n3. **Fix spacing issues**: Extra spaces will be removed, and missing spaces will be added where it makes sense.\n\n4. **Rejoin broken sentences**: There are no clear sentences to rejoin.\n\n5. **Restore paragraph breaks**: The text will be formatted into paragraphs based on apparent breaks.\n\n6. **Indicate missing words**: Not applicable due to the lack of coherent sentences.\n\n7. **Do not rephrase or rewrite**: The text will not be rewritten.\n\n8. **No translation of text**: The text will not be translated.\n\n9. **Format of File Reference**: Not applicable.\n\n10. **Page numbering**: Not detected in the provided text.\n\n11. **No comments**: No comments will be left in the text.\n\nLet's attempt to format the given text into a more readable format by applying some of the rules:\n\n## OCR Output\n\nMr Bulley\n\nH.

        "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH\n\n### Aug. 13, 1867\n\n**CANTON MARKET REPORT**\n\nFine, 30 to 40 taels, short; sales, 11,976 chests. Oolongs: Common to good cargo, 20 to 28 taels, short; fine, 30 to 33 taels, short; sales, 22,300 half-chests. Flowery Pekoes: Common to medium, no sales; fine to finest, no sales. Scented Teas: Common to medium, 18 taels, short; fine to finest, 28 to 36 taels, short; sales, 15,656 boxes.\n\nCANTON-Country Congous: Three chops have been taken at from Tls. 17 to 18, leaving a stock of 54 chops or 3,764 pkgs. Although musters of a few chops of the new crop have arrived, it would be premature as yet to express any opinion concerning them. Country Greens remain unnoticed. Canton-made Teas: Considerable settlements have taken place both in Scented Orange Pekoes and Scented Capers; prices have been somewhat irregular, but as a rule they are tending upwards. Canton Congou of new make has received rather more than usual attention, and Gunpowders have been inquired for to a moderate extent. Quotations are as follows:-\n| Tea Type | Price (Tls.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Country Congou | 17 to 18 |\n| Canton Congou (new make) | 24 to 27 |\n| Young Hyson | 22 |\n| Scented Orange Pekoe | 23 to 32 |\n| Scented Caper | 13.5 to 29 |\n| Gunpowder | 20 to 27 |\n\nElls and Lastings show a slight improvement in price, a slight demand having arisen for these goods; Long Ells continue very scarce. Metals: Lead continues firm, as a Canton demand still continues; other metals remain much as before reported. Coals continue firm; a cargo of 1,100 tons Bristol Channel Coal has been sold at 16 dols. per ton ex ship.\n\n**SHANGHAI MARKET REPORT**\n\nThe market has somewhat improved; the arrival of the steamer from Tientsin having given an impetus to several articles-any improvement in that market acts favourably on prices here. Grey Shirtings are in fair demand, and holders not forcing sales, prices are steady at quotations; best Eagles 8 lbs. 4 oz. tls. 2.00. T-Cloths: A little lower for inferior makes, but best goods still wanted; of these there are but few. White Shirtings are quite neglected; Drills in better inquiry and prices rather firmer. Woollens: Long Ells. 7.95 for H.H. assorted, and 7.20 for C.P.II.; Scarlet do not maintain their value of a fortnight since. Camlets: A few sales of favourite colours are reported at fair prices, but ordinary assortments continue very dull of sale. Spanish Stripes: 1.H. have been sold at 65 cents per yard; the demand is not active, and in other woollens there is no new feature. Metals: There is little change to note; buyers have fairly supplied themselves; stocks have not been increased, and prices remain about the same; Nail Rod, for best brands, tls. 2.50 to 2.55 per picul. Coals: Stocks have been increased by the vessels named as arrived from Sydney, and the cargo of the Lady Alice from Nagasaki. Quotations: Cardiff, from ships' side, tls. 15, N. Wales, tls. 14, nominal; English, s. 14 to 15, nominal; Anthracite, tls. 13 to 13.50, nominal sales, to arrive, at tls. 13.25.\n\n**YOKOHAMA MARKET REPORT**\n\nA decided improvement is noticeable in Grey Shirtings and Cotton Yarn, and a good business, both on the spot and to arrive, has been done in both staples at a slight advance on our last quotations. Stocks of Yarn are very light. We have to notice a contract just concluded for 156 bales, to be delivered in six weeks, at the following rates:-\n| Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| 16 to 24 | $3.68 |\n| 28 to 32 | $3.70 |\n| 38 to 42 | $3.78 |\n\nA fair inquiry has commenced for Chintzes and other light summer goods, and it is worth notice that, in consequence of rumours that the French contracts for Black Cloth will be annulled, this article is again saleable, and a slight demand has sprung up. Most other Woollens continued quite inactive, a forced sale of Camlets S.S at $15.50 being the only transaction calling for remark. In Metals, more business is doing; a demand existing for hoop and Nail Rod Iron and bead, and some improvement in prices is apparent.\n\n## CHINA EXPORTS\n\n### TEA\n\n#### YOKOHAMA\n\nThe new season has been opened by the arrival of about 700 piculs of medium and good medium teas, the bulk of which was bought to complete the cargo of the Benefactress for New York, at an unnecessarily high figure: say from 27.50 to 30 dollars. The quality of this first sample is not satisfactory, but considerable arrivals are now daily expected, when we shall have fair opportunities of judging of the character of the new crop. The remaining stock of last season's tea is about 2,000 piculs, and quite unsaleable. We give no quotations, therefore, for any but the kinds at which, as we have stated, business has been done.\n\n#### SHANGHAI\n\nBlack.--A small inquiry has sprung up during the past few days for the new Ningchows and Hohows, and as much as Tls. 24.0.0 has been paid for a chop of each kind. Settlements have been light, but a very large amount of reshipments have taken place. The rates paid for the finest Teas are about equivalent to those ruling at the opening of last season, but fair and medium are obtainable at somewhat easier prices. \n| Category | Quantity (Chests) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Settlements for the fortnight | 3,700 |\n| Reshipments on owners' account | 68,400 |\n| Stock | 26,500 |\n\nQuotations.-Hobow, fine to finest, 32 to 34 tls. per pcl.; Congou, common, 23 to 28 tls. per pcl.; Ningchow, fair to finest, 29 to 34 tls. per pcl.; Pouchong, 29 tls. per pcl. Green. Only two chops of common Tea have been settled during the fortnight at Tls. 23.5.0, and the season is nearly closed. \n| Category | Quantity (Half-Chests) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Settlements for the fortnight | 415 |\n| Stock | 5,000 |\n\n#### HANKOW\n\nThe business of the fortnight has been exceptionally large, and shipments continue on an enormous scale. Two settlements of finest Teas have been made at full rates, while medium to fine have advanced in value early Tls. 2.0.0. At the same time sales have been somewhat irregular. Quotations were-Oopacks and Congou-kais, medium to good, Tls. 24.0.0 to 29.5.0; finest, Tls. 30.0.0 to 31.5.0 Oonams, fair to fine, Tls. 19.0.0 to 24.5.0. \n| Category | Quantity |\n| --- | --- |\n| Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1867 | 11,591,467 lbs. |\n| Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1866 | 7,414,926 lbs. |\n| Increase, 1867 | 4,176,541 lbs. |\n| Stocks | 29,000 chests |\n\n#### KIIKIANG\n\nBlack Teas: About 25,000 packages are to hand. With the exception of the purchase of two small chops at tls. 26.0.0 nothing was done on the market till the 11th, when six full chops of finest Ningchows found buyers at tls. 25.5.0 to 28.0.0 per picul, and since that date little has been doing. \n| Category | Quantity (Packages) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Export from 1st January to 15th June, 1867 | 15,097 |\n| Export for the same months of 1866 | 17,106 |\n| Decrease, 1867 | 2,009 |\n| Stock | 30 chops |\n\n#### FOOCNOW\n\nCongou: The price for the finer descriptions has continued firmly supported during the past fortnight; the rates for the commoner grades, which were slightly easier after the departure of the last mail, have advanced to about the former scale, in consequence of the demand for Australia. Souchong: The teas, being generally of good quality, have been freely taken for shipment to the United Kingdom; a large proportion of this description is more or less \"tarry.\" Oolongs: Full prices have been paid for these kinds, but rates are now slightly easier; the demand for America has not yet commenced. Scented Teas: Those at first offered were deficient in scent, the flowers being very backward; the teas have in many instances, however, commanded full prices; those now coming forward are better scented. \n| Tea Type | Sales (Chests) | Price (Taels) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Congou: Dust and broken leaf kinds | ... | 8 to 9, short |\n| Congou: Ordinary common | ... | 10 to 14, short |\n| Congou: Light flavoury | ... | 19 to 24, short |\n| Congou: Good flavoury to medium Kysow kinds | ... | 25 to 32, short |\n| Congou: Fine Kysow kinds | ... | 32 to 40, short |\n| Congou | 31,326 | ... |\n\n### SILK\n\n#### YOKOHAMA\n\nBusiness has, of course, been on a very small scale during the fortnight. The exhaustion of our stock is sufficient to account for this, even with the general suspension of home orders, consequent on the fear of war and uncertainty regarding the new European crop. Stocks do not exceed 250 piculs, chiefly of mixed, low kinds.\n\n#### SHANGHAI\n\nDuring the past fortnight considerable transactions have taken place at higher rates, and the settlements are estimated at fully 4,000 bales: making a total of 5,700 bales since the 1st June. The demand has been chiefly for chops and good silks, and lower grades would have been bought at comparatively cheaper rates.\n\n#### CANTON\n\nAfter the arrival of the English mail with rumours that the total yield of the Continental crop would be much smaller than that of last year a good demand for fine silk sprung up. Quotations are as follows:-\n| Silk Type | Price (Dols.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Loongkong, No. 1 | 560 to 566 |\n| Loongkong, No. 2 | 545 to 550 |\n| Kowkong | 500 to 510 |\n| Rec'd Cumchuck | 595 to 600 |\n\n## SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE\n\n### ARRIVALS\n\n| Port | Ship | Origin | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Hong Kong | Helen | Newcastle | June 16 |\n| Hong Kong | Princess | Cardiff | 23 |\n| Hong Kong | Stuart Wortley | Clyde (via Singapore) | 27 |\n| Hong Kong | Tai-wang (steamer) | ... | 21 |\n\n### DEPARTURES\n\n| Port | Ship | Destination | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Hankow | Challenger | London | June 17 |\n| Hankow | Ada | London | 19 |\n| Shanghai | Gossamer | London | 18 |\n| Shanghai | Whinfell | London | 21 |\n| Foochow | Flying Spur | London | 9 |\n| Foochow | Black Prince | London | 10 |\n| Hong Kong and Canton | Ajax (str.) | London | 27 |\n\n## VESSELS LOADING\n\n| Port | Ship | Destination |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | Havelock | New York |\n| Shanghai | Isles of the South | London |\n| Shanghai | Elmstone | London |\n| Foochow | Chusan | London |\n\n## FREIGHTS AND CHARTERS\n\n| Port | Route | Freight Rate |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | To London | £3 to £3 10s. per ton |\n| Yokohama | To New York | £2 10s. to £3 |\n| Shanghai | To London | £3 to £3 10s. per ton |\n| Foochow | To London | £3 10s. per ton |\n| Hong Kong and Canton | To London | 43s. per ton |\n\n## MISCELLANEOUS\n\nThe P.M.S.S. Co.'s steamer Costa Rica reports having left New York April 1st, and arrived in St. Vincent on the 15th. Left again 21st after coaling, and proceeded to Capetown, arriving there May 11th.\n\n**STOKEN**\n\n| Ship | Route | Date | Position |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Englishman | Liverpool to Hong Kong | June 30 | 10 N., 36 W. |\n| Maria | Batavia to Middleburg | July 18 | 37 N., 38 W. |\n\n**CASUALTIES**\n\nThe Pieter Adolf, Jaski, which arrived at Batavia from London, May 26, had sustained damage in her cargo, having been struck by seas, when much water got into the cabin, &c.\n\n## THE GUNBOATS IN CHINA\n\nThe gunboats are in excellent order, and in the highest state of discipline. Their commanders were looking forward with anxiety for the arrival of the new Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir H. Keppel.\n\n## COOLIES AT NEW ORLEANS\n\nAh Yuk, a Commissioner from the Chinese Government, has concluded contracts with a number of Louisiana, Alabama, and Texas planters to bring 5,000 more Celestials to this country for their use.",

Both subjects have been treated in an off-hand manner by the Ministers; Senor Figuerola, who has just left the financial department, having actually said that he preferred the \"partida de la porra\" to the censors of the press.\n\n## LETTER FROM SPAIN, (FROM A MADRID CORRESPONDENT)\n### MADRID, December 23\n\nThe sudden announcement of the dissolution of the Sovereign Constituent Cortes by the end of the year has caused great excitement. Marshal Prim has established a system of police in Madrid.\n\nThe Ayuntamiento of Madrid is rather cabal-ling about the charitable institutions. The news from Cuba is rather more cheering. The election of a king had produced much enthusiasm, and raised the loyalty of the Cubans towards the mother country.\n\nThe King of Italy has sent a private secretary to Madrid. Senor Mores intends laying before the new Cortes his general financial scheme. The projected plan for the issue of treasury bills, alluded to in the beginning of my letter, is but a shift to get out of the present difficulties.\n\nSenor Echegaray, Minister of Public Works, declared that \"everything is lawful to save the country.\" Marshal Prim was in no hurry at all about the enthronement of the new Sovereign, and it is believed that King Victor Emmanuel wished that the ceremony should take place with the least possible delay.\n\nThe Republicans are very hard up, with scarcely sufficient funds to carry on their opposition. The Carlists do not possess a single courageous leader; they are penniless, and they have no pretender.\n\n**THE RAMAYANA**\n\nby Mias Richardson is described as \"A Selection of Legends from Valmiki's Sanskrit Form, the Ramayana.\" Its translation from the French of M. Fouche is very agreeable.\n\nMR. GEORGE WALTER, the spirited patron of the Cogers, gave a brilliant entertainment last night to this time-honoured Debating Society. The toasts, speeches, and songs were the special feature of the entertainment.\n\nThe excitement of the parties in the Opposition is naturally increasing as the day of the arrival of the new Sovereign approaches. A deputy has declared in the Cortes in the name of the Carlists that they will not acknowledge the new monarchy, and will struggle against it in the manner taught by the men now in power.",

        "content_text": "THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\nIs not a great deal of the work in Siam caused by the doctrine of extra-territorial jurisdiction applying to the inhabitants of British Burmah? Yes, and to British India; I would not separate British Burmah exclusively.\n\nThere is a difficulty in following criminals from British Burmah, is there not, to Siam; do not cases occasionally occur of the escape of criminals into Siam?--I have not heard of any particular case of that kind.\n\nDo you think that work of that kind could be decreased; it has been stated here that there has been a somewhat extravagant interpretation of this doctrine in the case of the inhabitants of British Burmah?--Well, it would be a very great comfort if the work of looking after these men could be taken away from the consul altogether, because it is a terrible responsibility having to give an opinion about cases which happen hundreds of miles away from you, and of which you cannot get any very satisfactory evidence. I do not see how we are to avoid doing it with our Treaty.\n\nThe officers of the consulate are occasionally sent great distances up country, are they not, in these cases?--No, they were not in my time; I have never known of an officer being sent beyond 60 miles about a case.\n\nBut the labour involved in these cases to the consulate is very considerable?--Very considerable, and the anxiety still greater.\n\nDo you know whether it was the custom of other Powers for their consuls to act as agents there?--In some cases the consuls were merchant consuls, trading consuls, and in that case they might of course be agents for anything; the Lloyd's agent in Siam was a merchant.\n\nViscount ENFIELD: Is the cost of living in Siam very great?--It is great as compared with England, because there are certain luxuries which a man must have in a climate of that sort; I mean to say that whereas a young man in England can live very well for £150, out in Siam it is impossible for a student interpreter to live decently on the pay that is given to him.\n\nMR. HARPER in his evidence before the Committee said that H.M. Consuls often acted as agent for Lloyd's, and that the commissions paid on wrecks were at times valuable, he might instance the case £3,000 paid on one ship at Batavia.\n\nCHINA SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY (LIMITED).\n\nThe second ordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held on the 13th inst.; Mr. JOHN PENDER, M.P., in the chair. The Secretary (Mr. T. Fuller) read the notice convening the meeting, and the minutes of the last meeting, which were then confirmed; the report of the directors, given in our last issue, was taken as read.\n\n[Nov. 18, 1872.]\n\nThe CHAIRMAN stated that since the opening of the line it had worked in every way satisfactorily; there had been one or two interruptions, but of a slight character. In regard to one which occurred at Saigon in shallow water, they had the satisfaction, in repairing the cable, that it was as perfect as on the day it had been laid down.\n\nIt was also a matter for congratulation to perceive that, even taking into account the low rate of charges that had rated for a considerable period of the company's operations, the result had been about as good as that attained by any submarine line during the first year of its working. It was proposed to pay the shareholders a dividend of 8 per cent. for the whole year.\n\nThe directors entered into arrangements with the Great Northern, by which that company was to receive interest at 5 per cent. on the capital, and the cable to be repaired by them; that all above that sum was to be equally divided; and, although the traffic had been interrupted, the amount received last year from that source was £4,752.\n\nHe thought that at some future time it would be necessary to call upon the shareholders to find the money to lay another cable in conjunction with the Great Northern, as the present cable seemed to be not quite so good as that company had expected it to be. He also believed that an alternate line was necessary to give the public the accommodation they required, and at the same time to secure themselves a fair return.\n\nThis company had put up its tariff to £6, whilst the Great Northern Company were working at £4 10s., but he thought that they were getting as full a share of the traffic as those who went to the expense of telegraphing their messages by both routes.\n\nMr. Forde, a shareholder, said he regretted that the Board had any idea of laying a cable between Hong Kong and Shanghai in conjunction with the Great Northern Company. Such a step would be much in the interests of that company, but against theirs. He must very earnestly urge on the directors the policy of amalgamating with the other companies; a low tariff was only to be obtained by amalgamation. The working expenses of this company—£16,000 on earnings of £85,000—were enormous, and the salaries paid were too high.\n\nMr. HOLMES agreed with Mr. Forde as to the Shanghai line, and he considered the £1,838 for the Agnes repairing ship was excessive, and a contract should be made for the repairs.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, in reply to these remarks, said that the laying of the cable to Shanghai was merely foreshadowed, but if done, it must be in conjunction with the Great Northern in good faith, according to the bargain made. The policy of amalgamation was quite approved by the Board; but those things required time, and could not be carried out so speedily as Mr. Forde seemed to think.\n\nWith regard to the expenses, he read a statement of salaries, &c., at each port, and explained that the expenses of living were so high at the stations that the salaries of proper officers must be in proportion. The expense for repairs and maintaining cable would be reduced.\n\nThe directors had no objection to half-yearly meetings. The report was then put and carried, as also the re-election of the Baron d'Erlangen as a director, and two auditors. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.\n\nTHE JAPANESE AT MESSRS. ALLAN, RANSOME AND CO.'S.\n\nYesterday the Minister for Agriculture, with members of his suite, together with American and English employers of labour, visited the works of Messrs. Allan, Ransome, and Co., in King's-road, Chelsea, to view some newly-invented labour-saving machinery of remarkable construction and power.\n\nThe strikes of workmen in the building trades, the increased cost of production in the carpentry and joinery branches of those trades, and the difficulties caused to employers by the restrictions of Trades Unions, have each had their share in directing the attention of engineers to find the means of meeting the pressure caused by the contracted amount of available skilled labour; and the machines exhibited yesterday were in every way so perfect that it is not easy to see how hand labour will hold its own.\n\nThe first machine inspected was a portable saw frame. Any one who has seen the old saw-pits, where the \"top sawyer\" and the \"bottom sawyer\" laboured from morning to night and day after day in cutting a log into planks, would be greatly astonished to see this comparatively small machine, attended only by one man, cut up the body of a large oak into fourteen planks at once, it having twelve saws, which cut through the whole bulk of wood in something less than half an hour.\n\nA mortising machine, the invention of Mr. Richards, of Philadelphia, was set to work, and accurately and cleanly cut in a few moments mortises which would have taken a workman hours.\n\nA moulding machine, for cutting mouldings, did in a minute thirty-five feet of work, which would have taken a skilled workman many hours, and this work could apparently be done by a boy.\n\nIn what was called a \"general joining machine\" there was apparently no limit to the work to be done, the one machine cutting mortises, shaping blocks, planking, carving out banisters, and turning in a few minutes a plain block of wood into a perfectly carved piece of work.\n\nAnother machine, exceedingly small and unpretentious, was shown to be capable of planing any sort of work, oval or flat, and at the same time a revolving chisel cut mortises with celerity and accuracy.\n\nA very fine piece of machinery is one which cuts raised or recessed panels, in other words, which can cut the sunk or raised ornamental work in wood now so highly prized and so dearly paid for, as the best and most skilled.\n\nBy another machine, an American invention, but improved by the Messrs. Ransome, a door can be finished—that is, cleanly sand-papered on both sides—in three minutes.\n\nThe planing and trying-up of work, or what would be properly called the trueing \"up, by which is meant the nice work of making blocks of wood exactly like one another, in order to hand labour, is, by one of Ransome's machines, done at once and perfectly in a few minutes, all the blocks, of whatever size, being placed together and turned out as like as peas, and mathematically correct in every respect.\n\nA band saw machine, by which both fine and rough work was cut in all sorts of shapes, and a saw cutting machine, with F. Ransome's patent stone, were among the other works shown.\n\nWith one or two of these machines an employer with a man and a boy as staff, could turn out as much work as twenty or thirty men, and never be troubled about the nine hours, eight hours, or any other movement.\n\nThe remarkable fact about these machines is that they are not limited to the pattern, shape, or character of wood, for the knives are changed in a few minutes, and whatever the class of work required, it can be done at once.\n\nThe inspection lasted for several hours, and all the visitors expressed themselves delighted with these new machines, some of which are to go to the Vienna Exhibition.\n\nNAVAL AND MILITARY.\n\nThe screw steamer Scotland, Captain James, sailed from Queenstown on the 12th inst. for Singapore and Hong Kong, via the Suez Canal.\n\nThe following are the details of the officers and men who proceed in the Scotland to strengthen the garrisons in the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong:-To Singapore, Captain Battye, Lieutenant Armstrong, and 79 men of the 10th regiment and 10 men of the Royal Artillery.\n\nTo Hong Kong, Captain Stone, with 294 men and 19 women and children of the 80th Regiment; an armourer sergeant, a sergeant, and 10 men of the Royal Artillery: and 3 men of the Royal Engineers.\n\nMajor Watson, of the Ceylon Rifle Regiment, Captain Hewson, 73rd Foot, and Lieutenant Chevera, of the 73rd Foot, proceed to Hong Kong on duty with the draft of the 80th Regiment, and will afterwards return to Ceylon.\n\nThe medical officer in charge of the troops is Staff Surgeon O'Halloran, who will, after their arrival at their respective stations, proceed to Penang.\n\nThe Mosquito, composite gunboat, 400 tons, and 360-horse power, which was commissioned at Devonport on the 30th ult., for service on the China station, by Lieutenant-Commander William Henry Bond, was moved into Plymouth Sound on the 9th inst., has made the customary trial of her engines, and has embarked her supply of ammunition preparatory to sailing.\n\nLieutenant-Colonel Joseph H. F. H. Hudson, Grenadier Guards, is to be confirmed in his appointment of military secretary to General Henry Renny, in command of the forces in Ceylon.\n\nMONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.\n\nThe suspension of Messrs. Bowles Bros. and Co., noticed in our last issue, has caused the stoppage of the \"Joint National Agency,\" a company formed for general financial and agency purposes in connection with the Japanese now in Europe, amongst whom we are sorry to say are the agents of the Japanese Government, who have lodged Government funds in the hands of the Company.\n\nJudging from the following circular, it seems that the company is utterly crushed, and will be dissolved.\n\n446, Strand, London, 9th November, 1872.\n\nSIR.—With the greatest regret, and by order of the Board of Directors, I have to inform you that in consequence of the sudden and unexpected suspension of payment of one of the bankers of this company, the firm of Messrs. Bowles Brothers and Co., this company has also found it necessary to suspend payment.\n\nIn order at once to secure the assets of the company its immediate winding up has been determined upon, and with this view an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders will be held here at two o'clock in the afternoon, on Tuesday week, the 19th inst., when a resolution will be submitted to the effect that it has been proved to the satisfaction of the company that it cannot, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business, and that it is advisable to wind up the same.\n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant,\n\nWALTER H. FARRA, Secretary.\n\nFollowing closely on the failure of Joshua, of Singapore, we have telegrams announcing the stoppage of Chang \"Tee, Watseng and Co., and Absoon and Co., both Chinese firms of importance in the Straits and Saigon trade, with heavy liabilities to European firms.\n\nThe mail also brings advices of the failure and arrest for fraud of A. Velge, a commission merchant at Singapore, by which the banks will also lose.\n\nMessrs. Joshua Brothers and Co., of Great Winchester-street, desire it to be stated that their firms, together with the firms of Joshua Brothers, Melbourne, and Joshua Brothers, Mauritius, are in no way related to or connected with the firm of Joshua Brothers, of Singapore, whose suspension has been announced.\n\nCorrespondence from Shanghai by the last two mails has been very gloomy, and failures are expected before the end of the year, notwithstanding the assistance given here to the Silk market by a combination.\n\nBar Silver has again declined, and the nearest quotation we can give is 59d. per oz., at which rate some small parcels have been sold; the market is weak, and a further slight reduction may be looked for.\n\nThe Bank of Holland has decided to buy no more silver at any price. It has hitherto bought silver at 1.104.65 per Dutch pound, and has not varied the price for years.\n\nBANK AND MISCELLANEOUS SHARES.\n\nTELEGRAPH COMPANIES.\n\n£10\n\nChartered Bank Ind., Aust., and China\n\nAll\n\n59 to 54\n\n13 to 15\n\nAll\n\n23 to 25\n\n10\n\n1 to 15\n\n58 to 60\n\nAll\n\nJOINT STOCK BANKS.\n\n£10\n\nAgra Bank\n\n25\n\nBank of Egypt\n\n20\n\n45\n\nChartered Merc. of India and China\n\n20\n\nCity Bank\n\n+14\n\n1.\n\n100\n\nColonial Bank\n\n500fr.\n\nComptoir D'Escompte of Paris...\n\n2291\n\n100\n\nHong Kong and Shanghai Bank\n\n[Imperial Bank\n\n20\n\n28 to 29\n\n50\n\nLondon and County\n\n20\n\n69 to 58\n\n50\n\nLondon Joint Stock\n\n15\n\n48 to 47\n\n100\n\nLondon and Westminster\n\n20\n\n67 to 62\n\nOriental Bank Corporation\n\nAll\n\n$1 to 42\n\n50\n\nUnion of London...\n\n43 to 44\n\n10\n\nBritish Indian Extension\n\nAll\n\n34 to 144\n\n13\n\nBritish Australian...\n\nAn\n\nA to 99\n\n30\n\nChina Submarine.\n\n10 to 10\n\n10\n\nEastern Telegraph Company\n\n10 to 10\n\n10\n\nGreat Northern\n\nAll\n\n10 to 114\n\n25\n\nIndo-European\n\nAll\n\n14 to 30\n\n30\n\nMediterranean Extension\n\nAll\n\n£ to 7\n\n12\n\nTelegraph Construction Company\n\n£24 to 23\n\n60\n\nIndiarubr.,Gutta Percha &Tel.

Shepard, Harrison, and Rehden's Circular says--\n\nDuring the past few days buying, except at auction without reserve (sales of China or Indian growth taking place daily), has been all but suspended, owing to the disturbance in the money market and the advance in the Bank rate, which is now 7 per cent.; arrivals have also been on an exceedingly large scale; buyers therefore act with extreme caution.\n\nAdvices from China, as to ultimate total shipments, state, \"all will depend on prices paid for common Congou;\" as regards this market, there is no encouragement to ship such here; demand has been \"off\" this class for some time, and late imports of what may be fairly classed as \"good common\" are not saleable over 9d.\n\nThe export trade to all quarters has been inactive.\n\nThe public sales of China have comprised 16,117 packages, of which week amount to 8,211,346 lbs., against 3,161,038 lbs. last year.\n\n14,449 packages have been sold without reserve.\n\nThe deliveries for the sales have been...\n\nBlack-Red leaf: No change as to prices for siftings and leafy; good flavoury kinds at 1s. to 1s 1d. have been scarce, but a better selection is offering from ships now discharging; Souchong and Kaisow kinds at 1s. 3d. to 1s. 5d. offer good value; medium to fine at 1s. 6d. to 2s. are hard of sale; finest sells in small lots at 2s. 1d. to 2s. 6d. per lb.\n\nPakling kinds: No demand.\n\nTayshau leaf: Fall supplies are in course of landing; a few sales at 10d. to 1s, for good common and fair.\n\nBlack leaf: In low and ordinary common there have been occasional small sales at 6d. to 7½d.; fair to good common we quote at 8d. to 10d. per lb., and difficult of sale; preferable kinds 1s. 7d, we make rather lower; fine and finest 1s. 8d. to 2s. 2d., limited at 1s. to 1s. 2d. are scarce; medium to good medium at 1s. 3d. to 1s. 6d. are...\n\nSouchong: Few transactions at no alteration in value.\n\nScented Tea, Canton kinds--Caper: There has been fair trade doing, as late good common to fair 10d. to 1s., good to medium 1s. 1d. to 1s. 4d, fine imports are of desirable quality, many parcels being strong scented; 1s. 5d. to 1s. 8d., finest 1s. 9d. to 2s. per lb.\n\nScented Orange Pekoe: Limited supplies, but sufficient for present wants, Foochow growth being in full supply, and selling at a moderate scale of prices.\n\nGreen Large sales by auction without reserve; the imports, ex Glenroy and Ajax, over 800,000 lbs., offering a varied selection, chiefly of Peling Suey leaf, which has sold at an average 1d. per lb. decline, No. 1 Gunpowder selling down to 2s. 11d., other grades in proportion.\n\nSlogane and Fychow leaf, with the comparatively small supply, has been selling at extreme rates.\n\nCanton and Japan kinds: No change.\n\nSILK.\n\nMessrs.

Either of these courses would afford full protection to the Creditors of the Company, and give publicity to the matter for the benefit of the Shareholders, including those absent from the Colony.\n\n3.-Because the preamble of the Bill has not been proved; but on the contrary, the evidence taken shows that all the Shares of the Company had been subscribed for many years ago, and that they are now saleable and at a premium, and no evidence has been tendered to show that the Shares are not marketable, which, were such the case, could be proved by the Share-Brokers of the Colony.\n\n4.-Because, in view of the fact of the promoting Company being limited by Shares, it is necessary for the interest of the public that those Shares should be held by persons of ample means, who, in case of disaster, would be able to meet the amount unpaid on them, which, in the event of their subdivision, would not be the case, the evidence of Mr. H. H. Nelson, the Chairman of the promoting Company, proving that the intention of the Company is to enable the Shareholders to dispose of the reduced Shares to persons of small means, who cannot afford to purchase the present Shares.\n\n5.-Because Shares of $5,000 with limited liability, such as those of the promoting Company, are not too large; it being desirable that the liability of each Shareholder in a Marine Insurance Company, (which is always liable to heavy losses), should be considerable.\n\n6.-Because the Bill ignores the interests of the Creditors of the promoting Company, comprising those who have effected Insurances with the Company, without whose consent it would be contrary to Equity to make the proposed change in its status.",

He cannot by any reasoning, however subtle, sustain his right to charge two import duties on these.\n\nIn fact, with all deference to Sir BROOKE ROBERTSON - in all probability he has done and written in reference to this subject has been in good faith, but it is in human nature to err, and by the balance of evidence it be\n\nmatter of this kind. It may be said in reference to a new comer that he would urge that an independent man should be appointed to investigate a would not be conversant with the matter. Well, many matters involving more points of detail are heard and decided in courts of justice; and any new man coming might be allowed time to study the question. I contend it would be better to have a new man to arbitrate than a man like Sir BROOKE ROBERTSON, who has shown that he is biassed. And further, we\n\ncommenced to suffer from this grievance is passing away. I do not suppose must not allow this opportunity to pass by us. The first generation who here are more than one or two now present who took part in the discussion when this was first spoken of. We have repeatedly petitioned two Governments on the subject, but all our labours and prayers have simply brought\n\nforth this Commission, and this only in consequence of the Convention at ments on the subject, but all our labours and prayers have simply brought\n\nwould have been shelved for years. Therefore we ought to make the best Chefoo. In all probability had it not been for that Convention the matter\n\nof it, and if our protest is not attended to, we might call a meeting of the citizens of the Colony to protest.\n\nit is finally decided by the high authorities that the Treaty of Tientsin applies to the trade in native craft from this Colony, then he could charge the foreign tariff, and no more, but if the foreign tariff is not applicable, he can only charge the native duties, so that whatever conclusion is arrived at he stands convicted of unwarrantable squeezing. Let us hope, gentlemen, that the Commission as agreed in Sir THOMAS WADE's Convention may so commence their labours, and that the end of these labours may be that the Colony will be freed from the many evils which the present system entail upon us.\n\nWith reference to the remarks in the report on the subject of H.M. Consul acting as a member of that Commission, let us hope that he will view these remarks in their proper spirit. For his high personal character, his genial, generous spirit in private life, we have all the greatest admiration, but I contend that no man can read his despatches without feeling convinced that there is a bias towards the Chinese view of the situation. Some of the ablest and best men, both in past and present times have been biassed on some point or other, and very often there is no way of accounting for a bias. Before concluding these remarks on the Blockade, I would call the attention of members to the very able manner in which His Excellency the Governor has been battling for the Colony in this matter. Our second Police Magistrate, also deserves the thanks of the community as he has been most untiring in his labours to bring to light the objectionable practices of the Hoppo's employés in and around this harbour. The Chief Justice, the Acting Attorney General, the Registrar General, and the gentleman who is now acting, Mr. TONNOCHY, have, on every occasion, done all in their power to protect the interests of the Colony, and to them much credit is due.\n\nI am sure\n\nMr. BALLIOS.-I think, Mr. Chairman, it would be advisable for us than could possibly take a position like that; he could not go into the jury Chamber to protest against Sir BROOKE ROBERTSON being appointed to try a man under such circumstances; he would feel himself bound to say to the judge, \"I feel myself disqualified to sit in this case.” Sir BROOKE would not accept such a position.\n\nMr. WELSH asked if the meeting was in order, as the adoption of the report had not yet been moved, and he believed the Chairman had not concluded his remarks upon it.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN said he was going to make a few remarks on the other portions of the report, and proceeded:-With regard to the Blockade, we have had\n\n272",

Wodehouse's attention has been drawn by the Acting Colonial Secretary's letter of the instant to the fact that the Sergeant who interpreted for him on the occasion alleges that insulting language was used towards Mr. Wodehouse's party in the Brothels by one Chinaman, who was in company with some Chinese girls, saying :- \"What! Foreigners? Foreign devils? Let them come, if they will first knock their heads on the ground!\" Towards the end of his second letter to your Lordship Mr. Wodehouse says: \"I should be exceedingly sorry if I had been the means of leading any young man into mischief, and of the kind I can speak unhesitatingly, but it may be that my perception of what was right and proper was not keen enough on this occasion and that I did not properly realize the associations with which the word \"Prostitute\", and especially to a new comer to Hong Kong, must be connected, and, to this extent, to a certain extent I admit I was wrong, if it seems so to others.\" That Mr. Wodehouse's perception of what is right and proper is not quite keen enough; seems evident from the fact",

        "content_text": "THE DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 26TH, 1881.\n\nTO THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM KESWICK.\n\nSir—The subscribers to the accompanying testimonial have confided to us the duty of its presentation, and in their names and our own of saying to you a few words of farewell. The numerous signatures appearing in the appended subscription lists, representing every class and race of this community, will afford you the best testimony of the wide-spread appreciation entertained of your public career, but it will not be out of place for us to pass in brief retrospect some of the more eminent services you have rendered the Colony.\n\nChief among these stands the able and straightforward performance of your duties in the Legislative Council, where you have for so many years held a seat. In a Crown Colony the position of an Unofficial Member of this Council is full of discouragement; having no power of initiation, and with the certainty before him of being outvoted if in opposition, his task is limited to criticism of the schemes of the Government. Your labours in this direction have been of the highest importance and utility, and more especially as a guardian of the public purse the attitude you have unflinchingly maintained cannot, we think, be very well over-estimated.\n\nThe little leisure which the pressing responsibilities of a large Mercantile House have left you, you have ungrudgingly bestowed on many other public affairs. As Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce your wide experience and knowledge of business have been of the highest value. The City Hall owes much to your care and attention. Schemes of charity and for the assistance of the poor or friendless have ever found in you a real sympathiser; and there are but few institutions organised in this Colony for humane or charitable purposes that have not profited by your liberal aid and advice.\n\nNot less worthy of mention have been your services to many of those Public Companies with which much the prosperity of the Colony has now become identified. To your power of labour, business capacity, and grasp of detail, these important concerns are in no small degree indebted for the prosperity they enjoy; and it is no slight to others to say that probably to you more prominently than any one else, is due the confidence which joint-stock enterprise now enjoys in the Far East.\n\nWe now beg to bid you farewell, and with every wish for your enjoyment of your well-earned holiday, we remain, your sincere friends,\n\nE.

        "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nNo doubt, the repeated representations I ventured to address to Lord CARNARVON in 1877 against \"the Conditional Pardon and Deportation system, were mainly based on the clear evidence I had obtained that, however well intended or admirable in theory, it was a bad system, inconsistent with prison discipline, and that instead of checking crime it fostered and enlarged a criminal class on our Kowloong frontier and even within the Colony: but I was not insensible either to the sound general principles His Lordship had laid down on this subject in addressing the Governor of New South Wales in October 1874 in certain despatches, copies of which had been transmitted to my predecessor in 1875, and in which the Secretary of State had said :-----\n\nThe effect upon neighbouring Colonies, the Empire generally, or foreign countries, of letting loose a highly criminal or dangerous felon to reside in any part of the world except only that principally concerned to take charge of him, was a step which might clearly and not unreasonably give rise to complaints from without the Colony.\n\nTo release a criminal upon the condition that he should inflict himself either upon other Colonies and foreign countries or upon this country, was altogether in opposition to the theory now generally adopted.\n\nI am happy to say that, as the Chief Justice points out in his Report, Chinese criminals can be effectually dealt with in Hongkong without having recourse to this dangerous expedient.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed) J. POPE HENNESSY.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nin these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any other port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the emigrant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, that he left the Colony. I think one witness-not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors-told the Committee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals, on board one ship.\n\nThe Chief Justice.-What date was this ?\n\nHis Excellency.-This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop to the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Excellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee desired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who remained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the same course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and there released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRI) was a member, not only took the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese criminals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia since my arrival in this Colony.\n\n## Extract from the “Daily Press\" of 24th November, 1879.\n\n### LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Hongkong.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held on 22nd November, 1879. There were present:-----\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Chief Justice.\nHonourable W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary.\nHonourable J. RUSSELL, Acting Attorney General,\nHonourable M. S. Tonxoguy, Acting Colonial Treasurer.\nHonourable P. Ryrie.\nHonourable W. KESWICK,\n\nOn the Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill, His Excellency the Governor said :--- Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and that was the emigration of skilled artizans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. put before me. Some members of my Executive Council appeared to think favourably of this scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which, on looking at the papers, I had originally formed that I should not relax in any way the rules of this Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number of skilled Chinese artizans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably those Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how far it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict letter of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at the very time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed by this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight months after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the fact that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conveyed in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney led to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.\n\nThere was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, against which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it had overtaken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at this Council,--the deportation of criminals, than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is referred to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells the Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were sent to Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese criminals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor the deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deported; it simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, and in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be.\n\n## POST OFFICE NOTICE.\n\n### Unclaimed Correspondence, 30th July, 1880.\n\n| Name | Letters | Registered Letters | Papers |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Adshood, E. | 1 |  |  |\n| Ashik, Autlerson, R.

        "content_text": "18 \n\n## THE CHINA REVIEW\n\nto exhibit progressively the idiom of the language, and treating also of the Grammatical principles which extended analysis and comparison show to underlie the same. The classifiers, numerical categories, and compound verbs should all be fully displayed in such a work, advantage being taken of all previous labours which could in any way throw light on the several portions I have indicated. Where it seemed desirable only to present a portion or outline of any subject, references should direct the enquirer to the best and latest authority, and accuracy in detail should be deemed a first essential in every part.\n\nAny one expecting to find something of this sort in Dr. Burdon's new Primer will most certainly be sorely disappointed. It is evidently only a part of a scheme for the study of Chinese as Dr. Burdon thinks it ought to be studied. Writing exercises, as advertised by the Preface, are provided in a separate volume, and an adaptation of Wade's forty exercises are to complete the work, and supply also the much-needed sentences to exemplify the use of the material contained in the part already published. It being the case that there exists no standard to show what a Primer of the Chinese language should be, every one is free to follow the bent of his own mind in devising a plan for learning or assisting others to learn it. Dr. Bridgman recommends the use of colloquial sentences, which the student should analyse by the aid of a Tonic Dictionary, not aiming at quantity but thoroughness \"non multa sed multum.\" That this principle has been found excellent in practice, is shown by the fact to which I have already alluded that in most instances it has been followed by writers of books for beginners. Mr. Ross also has framed his recently published Mandarin Primer on the same principle. Dr. Burdon, however, as the result of his extended experience of Chinese, during more than twenty years past, presents us with a Primer of 50 pages to be committed to memory, in which no sentences and no grammatical rules whatever are given. We have here, it appears, a return to the exploded educational system of the last century, which demanded that the pupil's memory should first be surcharged with categories, before any attempt was allowed at combining words into sentences. \"In seeking,\" says Dr. Burdon, \"to acquire the language, commit much to memory. Learn off by heart the Radicals, their number, form, and meaning; the numeratives with their examples, the groups of words, &c.\"--- the &c., standing, we opine, for either the weights and measures, or the so-called list of Canton equivalents for mun-li expressions with which he concludes. How opposite this to the advice of Dr. Bridgman, \"Special care should be taken not to overburden the mind. By attempting to compass too much at once, the memory is weakened, the intellectual faculties are fatigued, debility and disgust ensue,\" &c.,-a good description of the result to be expected in the case of any one attempting implicitly to follow Dr. Burdon's directions.\n\nI can hardly conceive a work more calculated to depress and daunt the would-be student than the endeavour to charge his memory with these disconnected lists. He might as well begin in the Chinese manner with the Three-character Classic. If it is what its name imports this Primer is a book to be mastered before any other, a book that shall initiate the learner into the elementary construction of the language. But I venture to say that after painfully committing it to memory any one would be as far from talking Cantonese as ever he was. In fact, he would still require an introduction to Chinese. Just as some of our natural philosophers, finding great difficulty in realizing the conception of a first-man fully matured at big creation, seek about for traces of pre-adamite man, so will intending students of Chinese on looking into this primer cast an anxious eye around for some preliminary primer or book before the first! The fact that the work opens with the Radicals presupposes a previous acquaintance with characters, or is based on the misconception that radicals are to the Chinese, what alphabets are to Indo-European languages. A man may write and read much Chinese correctly without knowing anything of radicals as such, and the acquisition of these may fairly be deferred until several hundred common characters are known and the classification of a Tonic Dictionary is found insufficient for the student's wants. A few days' practice in classifying characters with which one is already familiar will do more to fix the radicals upon the mind than months of laborious effort to learn them by rote.\n\n## A CHINESE PRIMER\n\nBut what shall I say of the mistakes, which disfigure this new list in a work intended for beginners? Dr. Burdon informs us that his work is \"little more than a compilation,\" but that \"little more\" includes the deviations from presumed existing authorities which he here introduces - deviations which result in grave inaccuracies.\n\nInformed at starting that \"Those radicals marked * are ONLY used in combination,\" we proceed to glance through the list and find 21, 52, 9, 89, and 179, so marked; the fact being that they are all used, and some very frequently in the Classics, as a reference to Kanghi or Dr. Legge's Indices will at once show. On the other hand Nos. 13, 122, 141, which are only used in combination, lack the mark which should point this out. For No. 166 a wrong character is given thus, `pin` to separate, whereas this character is `toi` to pluck, or take by the hand, and has the right character for its radical. The meaning of 154 is given as pearls, whereas it should be either cowries or, as a radical, precious: 80 is rendered to imitate, the radical meaning being blending, and 192 is translated sacrificial herbs, but should either be Fragrant herbs or herb favoured spirits (See Dr. Eitel's Dictionary or Dr. Legge's Shoo). Lastly No. 120 should have `mi` for its sound and not `Sr`. I am the more surprised at these errors as Dr. Burdon seems to have taken advantage of some corrections which Dr. Williams has introduced into the list of Radicals in his Syllabic Dictionary, e.g. No. 178 `Wei`, correctly rendered leather or soft leather. Why again should Kanghi's first definition of 113 be persistently overlooked and the second sound only given when the frequent use of this radical in combination so clearly requires, that we give it its true value as Spirits of the Earth, instead of `She2` to admonish or as Dr. Williams corrects an omen.\n\nThe forms and are always used in combination for Nos. 162 and 163 or 170 respectively, not merely generally. These things may appear trifling in the eyes of some, but students will not think me hypercritical in pointing out these oversights in a work intended for beginners, in which accuracy is of prime necessity. Perhaps Dr. Burdon thinks with Martial-- \n\n> Turpe est dificiles habere nugas  \n> Et stultus labor est ineptiorum.\n\nHowever that may be, I am sure most readers will agree with me that it is no trifling matter to be put on the wrong scent by one who ought to be an authority in these matters; and I may dismiss the radicals with a reminiscence of a Sinologist in high position, whose temper was occasionally ruffled by the difficulties attending their use even after long acquaintance. A new comer presented himself as having just arrived from England and was asked, \"Have you done anything yet towards learning Chinese?\" \"Not much,\" was the reply; \"excepting trying to learn the radicals.\" \"Very good! do you know their use?\" \"I can't say that I quite understand it yet.\" \"I will show you, you see this character,\" said the great man. He ran his finger down a page of Chinese, and passing over one or two as being too simple, stopped at a complicated mass of strokes, \"Well I want to find this in the dictionary, so I look at it and see that the radical is such and such and count its strokes...\"",

The Commission may, of course, be wrong in this opinion, and in that view, can but suggest, as the only method of arriving at the correct state of affairs, that the Government take the Opium Monopoly into its own hands, and by establishing one or more boiling establishments under its own supervision, making these the only places at which it shall be legal to boil Opium, charging duty by the ball or by the tael after boiling, or both, as may appear most advantageous. By the evidence of one of the witnesses, the cost of this supervision and the staff requisite to prevent illicit boiling would be amply covered by the increased receipts. In the event of such a scheme being tried, the Commission would suggest as a means of detecting illicitly boiled Opium, that a Government stamp should be put upon each tin packed in the boiling house, and a rigid supervision maintained over the shops of retail dealers, also heavier penalties imposed than those fixed by the present Ordinance for illegal boiling or selling.\n\nAccording to the evidence of the witnesses connected with the Opium Farm, the plan above sketched would not bring in so large a revenue as the present method, but it appears to the Commission that the principal drawback, (which the witnesses also brought prominently forward) would be the uncertainty of the revenue, one month as compared with another, owing to different state of markets at different periods, but they are of opinion that, taking year by year, it would be pretty regular, therefore the objection is not of much value, and that, if the above scheme is adopted and rigorously carried out, the revenue can hardly suffer.\n\nShould the Government consider the above scheme unadvisable, and decide upon continuing the present system of granting a Monopoly, the Commission would suggest, that it would be more advisable to do so for a period of three years, as it would, in their opinion, bring forward more competitors. According to the present system of letting for short periods, capitalists are deterred from embarking their money in a business from which they may be ousted at the end of perhaps a year, and as more competitors nearly always means higher prices, the Government would, in the opinion of the Commission, receive a larger amount from the Monopoly.\n\nThe Opium Monopolist has expressed himself strongly in favor of letting for short periods, stating that he would not like it to be for a long period, giving as his principal reason, that he has heard that a Monopoly for boiling Opium similar to the one existing in this Colony, is about to be established in Australia. The Commission do not, however, attach much weight to this, and think that his real reason for being in favor of short periods is that, he being in possession, has the advantage over any new comer. With reference to the means of disposing of the Monopoly, the Commission would recommend its being put up to Public Auction, giving at least two months' notice of the same in the public journals of the Colony. Should it be decided to adhere to the present system of disposing of the Monopoly by tender, then the Commission would suggest that, after a notice of similar length to that mentioned, the tenders should be opened by a board composed of at least three Government Officers, those tendering having permission to be present if they wished it.\n\nThe Commission do not approve of the scheme proposed by the Wo HANG firm, to have a plurality of Licensees, at an annual fee of $20,000 each, as they think it might lead to a combination which instead of increasing would decrease the revenue.\n\nWith reference to paragraph 11 in His Excellency's Memo, addressed to Mr. SMITH, the Commission can only state, that in their opinion, every Monopoly must be detrimental to some one, but looking at the fact that the particular Hong making the complaint used the powers given by the Monopoly during its own tenure of same to the detriment of others, it cannot fairly have much to urge against the system.\n\nAs regards the sufficiency of the powers granted under Ordinance No. 2 to the Monopolists for maintaining the integrity of their privilege, the Commission are of opinion that they are ample, and as full as it would be safe to place in the hands of a private Firm. The Monopolist in his evidence stated that he was unable to get a warrant after dark, but this was merely an error on his part; it was clearly pointed out to him that he could obtain a warrant at any hour.\n\n9th November, 1872.\n\nC.

        "content_text": "# The Mercantile Marine Service Association\n\n## Hong Kong Telegraph 19/11/90\n\n### A National Disgrace!\n\n#### THE SUNDAY LABOUR QUESTION. AN APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT.\n\nHis Excellency the Acting Governor received a deputation from the British Mercantile Marine Officers' Association at Government House yesterday. The deputation, which was received in the first instance by Lieut. Thorburn, A.D.C., and subsequently introduced to His Excellency by the Hon. Secretary, consisted of Captain S. Ashton, Mr. J. W. James, Mr. Chesney Duncan (Hon. Secretary), Messrs. J. W. Gale, N.A. (President), Mr. Pearce, W. Winch (officers), and James Edwards (Hon. Treasurer).\n\nThe Mercantile Marine Service Association was incorporated by Special Act of Parliament for conserving the interests of the British Merchant Service, promoting the general improvement of nautical men by education, wholesome laws, obtaining redress of wrongs, procuring employment, and caring for the helpless and aged.\n\nCaptain Ashton said that the deputation felt most deeply grateful to His Excellency for granting them an interview. They sought to address the strong feeling amongst British officers that there should be a cessation of labour on board ships in this port on Sundays. Having studied Lord Knutsford's speech on the subject, made in the House of Lords on the 25th of July last, the Association came to the conclusion that the best way of causing much-needed legislation on the subject was to move the Chamber of Commerce to recommend Government to introduce a Bill which would cause the cessation of unnecessary Sunday labour.\n\n| **Position** | **Name** |\n| --- | --- |\n| President | J. W. Gale, N.A. |\n| Hon. Secretary | Chesney Duncan |\n| Hon. Treasurer | James Edwards |\n\nThe Association discussed the question at length with the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce at a public conference held at the City Hall on the 7th ultimo. Full reports of the arguments occasioned, together with the Chamber's written decision, dated the 31st of October, had doubtless come within His Excellency's cognizance.\n\nCaptain Ashton continuing said, \"We are very glad to think that His Excellency has taken notice of the movement which, we submit, is a righteous and justifiable movement, and a protest against moral slavery.\" He contended that the reply of the Chamber was unjustifiable in the circumstances and was an insult to officers. The Chamber's proposition was impracticable in the extreme and amounted to a modus vivendi.\n\nThe Chamber wrote, \"The Committee are of opinion that the Government could not legislate for the complete suppression of Sunday labour in this harbour, as the questions involved are very serious and would affect injuriously all the shipping interests of the Colony, and particularly the large Chinese population connected therewith.\" Captain Ashton argued that the Government could legislate for the suppression of Sunday labour without injuriously affecting the shipping interests or the Chinese population.\n\nHis Excellency, in reply, said he was very glad to receive the deputation and to hear their views on a question which was admittedly one of much importance. He believed it was admitted on all sides that it would be desirable to diminish Sunday labour if such could possibly be done. The question then arose whether it should be interfered with, and if so, by what means such interference should be brought about.\n\nThere were only two ways by which this could be done: one being by having recourse to compulsory legislation, and the other by the voluntary co-operation of those concerned in the shipping interests of the colony. His Excellency admitted that he did not altogether agree with all the arguments brought forward as proof that it was impossible to diminish Sunday labour in the colony.\n\n### Honorary Members\n\n* ADMIRAL HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH, K.G., K.T., G.C.B.\n* LORD CLAUD J.

        "content_text": "514\n\n( 14 )\n\non board I went to the chief officer's cabin. From a conversation I had with him I went to the Captain. I told him I had information there was a quantity of Opium on board and I asked him to hand it over to me. He asked me to tell him what authority I had. I replied that I had authority under the Ordinance as an excise officer. He asked me if I had a search warrant to search his ship. I replied that I did not require a search warrant, and I pointed out that under section 27 of the Ordinance I had authority to search without a warrant. When I went on board I had with me five excise officers to assist me in searching. The captain said I could search if I liked. I said \"I do not wish to search. I ask you to hand it over to me.\" He refused.\n\nI sent for a Police Inspector and the Captain went forward. I told the Captain I would not leave the ship and I stayed by the place where the opium was. Shortly afterwards P.C. Crawford, the wharf constable, arrived. The opium was at that time locked up in a locker. When the key was subsequently produced Logan, the Company's watchman, told me it came from the Captain. When the constable arrived I told him he could not do anything, that I was waiting for an Inspector. About half-an-hour later Sergt. Baker came. I handed him my copy of the Ordinance and asked him if he would explain it to the Captain. He went on deck to the Captain and I still stayed below. About a quarter of an hour later I went up to where Sergt. Baker and the Captain were. I then asked Sergt. Baker to search for the opium. He said he would have to consult General Gordon first. I asked him to search because I considered I wanted protection, and also because he has authority. After Sergt. Baker had left I went down below again, and about half-past eleven Logan came to me, said he had orders to give me the opium, and he opened the locker with a key. I found the opium produced. I handed it over to P.C. Crawford.\n\nI am satisfied it is fully prepared Opium. I was called out of bed and went to the Opium Farmer, who told me an informer had told him there was a quantity of prepared Opium on board the Honam, and he would send a man with me to show me where it was. I never saw the man before. I met Logan on the wharf. He said some Chinese he had seen about the wharf had brought it on board, that he had pointed it out to the Captain, and that the Captain had taken possession of it. I knew from the man who was with me that it was in that particular locker, and if I had searched I would have opened that locker first. I did not, as provided by the Ordinance, section 7, produce my excise officer's badge. My idea is that on the Captain becoming aware there was opium on board either myself or the police should have been sent for to make the seizure.\n\nBy Mr. Francis-I did not mark the tins. One of the tins has burst.\n\nBy Mr. Webber-I am acquainted with Captain Lefavour. He knows I am the chief excise officer. I had not my badge, but I had my warrant as an excise officer.\n\nBy his Worship-No permit was produced.\n\nMr. Webber said that was all the evidence he proposed to call.\n\nMr. Francis said that under ordinary circumstances he did not for a moment suppose that this case would have been defended, and after Mr. Webber's statement at the commencement of the case that the prosecution had no intention of pressing for any severe penalty, probably an expression of his Worship's opinion as to the rights and duties of the parties would have been amply sufficient. But the circumstances of the case were rather peculiar, and there had before been other cases resembling in some of their features this case which gave the matter rather a grave aspect, and it was really with a view of getting an investigation of these matters that the case was being defended now. The Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company and Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, who were associated with the Company in the Canton river trade, had the gravest reason to believe that one of the principal smugglers of prepared Opium out of the colony was the Opium Farmer and his licensees.\n\nMr. Webber-I strongly object to this, unless you are going to prove it.\n\nMr. Francis-I am going to prove it so far.\n\nMr. Webber--You have no right to make the statement unless you are going to prove it.\n\nHis Worship-Does it affect the issue?\n\nMr. Webber-It is a mean and contemptible insinuation.\n\nMr. Francis said he would prove that the opium came with a permit, that it came from a licensed shop, that it was put on board by their servants, with a view to being smuggled up to Canton, and that it was lawfully in possession of the Captain.\n\nHis Worship--You propose to prove there was a permit?\n\nMr. Francis-I propose to prove that probably there was a permit.\n\nMr. Webber--In order to support that mean and contemptible statement you ought to connect the Opium Farmer with it.\n\nMr. Francis-It is not a mean and contemptible statement.\n\nMr. Webber--I protest against it.\n\nMr. Francis-When Mr. Webber has quite done-\n\nMr. Webber-Well, I protest against it.\n\nHis Worship-I don't see that it bears on the issue.\n\nMr. Francis said he thought his Worship would see that it did bear on the issue when he had finished. Over and over again these steamers had been exposed to grave risks of forfeiture and heavy fines at Canton owing to the smuggling of prepared Opium. In recent cases the opium had been smuggled on board and had been discovered by the officers on board, and within an hour or so, or a very short time of the discovery, people had come direct from the Opium Farmer with the full knowledge that it had been seized, and claimed to take possession of it; and there was grave reason to suppose this was done by some person connected with the Opium Farmer, and that they were interested, as they necessarily must be, in smuggling as much prepared Opium as possible out of the colony, and that Opium seized in the act of being smuggled was protected by the Opium Farmer or his agents or servants. They came the moment they had received information it had been seized by the steamer's officers and claimed it and it was handed back to them.\n\nHis Worship-But is that material.\n\nMr. Francis submitted it was material, because if the opium came from one of the licensed dealers it came from his hands under a permit, and if he surreptitiously put it on board he by that very act constituted the Captain and the owners his agents for the purpose of carrying it.\n\nHis Worship---Carrying smuggled opium?\n\nMr. Francis said that if cargo was surreptitiously put on board a steamer, if it was discovered it was put on the manifest and the owner could be sued for freight. Under such circumstances it was the duty of the Captain to his owners and to the public to take possession of it, and the only question that could arise here was whether he was justified in handing it over to the first comer who asked for it. It was perfectly possible Captain Lefavour might have made a mistake in not giving it up to Mr. Spooner the moment it was asked for, but with such suspicions in the minds of the Company and its officers he thought his Worship would see\n\n( 15 )",

ARNOLD, Secretary.\n\nF. HENDERSON, Esq., Secretary, HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.\n\n**OFFICE OF THE HONGKONG, CANTON & MACAO STEAM-BOAT COMPANY, LIMITED.**\n\nHONGKONG, 17th July, 1893.\n\nDEAR SIR,-Referring to my letter of the 12th instant, I now, in compliance with your verbal request, furnish you with particulars of the foreign-bought tea recently shipped for this port by junk from Canton.\n\nOn the 10th instant a junk left Canton for Hongkong with 850 boxes, 131 piculs, and on the 12th instant another junk left with 1,861 boxes, 303 piculs, both shipments being for the Copack. The tea was the ordinary Scented Caper, not dust. I mention this, as the Hoppo has, I believe, always been in the habit of allowing dust through at a lower rate of duty than leaf tea, even when intended for a foreign port, in which case, according to Treaty tariff, the rate should be the same. The quantity of dust tea, however, shipped for export to foreign countries is comparatively trifling.—I remain, &c.,\n\nTHOS. ARNOLD, Secretary.\n\nF. HENDERSON, Esq., Secretary, HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.\n\n(17)\n\n**HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE**\n\nHONGKONG, 25th July, 1893.\n\nSIR, The Chamber, at the request of the representatives of various steamship companies connected with Hongkong, brought to the notice of your predecessor, His Excellency Sir JOHN WALSHAM, on 23rd September, 1891, a representation from them complaining that the action of the Chinese authorities in allowing the Hoppo of Canton to grant special reduction of duties, lower than the tariff rates, to shippers of teas and other exports by native craft was a departure from treaty obligations, and by unfairly diverting the carrying trade in these commodities was seriously damaging the interests which they represented.\n\nA similar representation has lately been made to the Chamber that the Hoppo has again been granting a preferential scale of duties to shippers by native craft, placing them once more on a more favourable footing than shippers by foreign vessels. Under these circumstances, and considering the urgency of the case required prompt action, the Chamber took the liberty of addressing to your Excellency on the 18th instant the following telegram:-\n\n\"Chamber Commerce to His Excellency Mr. O'CONOR Peking Hoppo Canton again granting preferential duties favouring junk carried tea Chamber begs reference to its letter twenty-third September ninety-one explanatory letter follows.\"\n\nIt is unnecessary to trouble your Excellency with any repetition of the arguments advanced in the letter above referred to, and the Chamber would only ask your attention to the annexed extract from a despatch from the Foreign Office on 29th May, 1892, to the Chamber. It contains so distinct an acknowledgment, on the part of the Chinese Ministers, of the irregularity of the action of the Hoppo as to make it appear needless to encroach upon your time by prolonging this letter in an unnecessary endeavour to further support a contention the justice of which has already been admitted at Peking.\n\nThe question, however, is one of much importance, and the Chamber hopes your Excellency will be pleased to take early measures towards attempting to stop, at the outset, a renewal of irregularities which might, if persisted in, easily develop into wide-spread disregard of treaty rights.-I have, &c.,\n\nJ. J. KESWICK, Chairman.\n\nTo His Excellency N. B. O'CONOR, C.B., C.M.G., Her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in China, Peking.\n\nPage 650",

        "content_text": "# complete year at the Central School, we find that for purposes of comparison with the present rate of expenditure, instead of $26.48 per head, we must take $37.56 which is evidence that Victoria College costs per head less than the Central School; and further that the actual net expenditure of 1888 would have been $17,642.54, thus showing only $3,762.92 as the increased annual cost of the law building, with its doubled staff.\n\n4. **REGISTER ADMISSIONS.--**\n\n| Average rate per annum | \n| --- | \n| February 1862 to December 1871 | 726 |\n| February 1872 to December 1881 | 1,642 |\n| February 1882 to June 1889 | 1,276 |\n| July 1889 to December 1893 | 1,614 |\n\nThus the admissions since the opening of the new building, in July 1889, are more than double the highest figure attained at the Central School, which satisfactorily attests the need of the larger accommodation provided by the Government; even though there is no immediate prospect of the occupation of every seat.\n\n5. **EFFECT ON THE COLLEGE OF COLONIAL DEPRESSION.-** Last year a pessimist letter signed \"Never\" appeared in one of the local papers in which was foretold with some acrimony the steady downfall of this Colony. \"Ever\" replied in an optimist strain exuberantly prophesying a magnificent future. Now, are we to suppose that a pre-eminently practical race like the Chinese are unaffected by their own impressions of the outlook of trade and of prospects of demand for employment? It would be exaggeration to suppose that even one-tenth of the Chinese boys who attend this College do so with the object, pure and simple, of acquiring an English education per se; i.e., for the mental enlargement and other advantages to be derived from it. Before he can talk English plainly on any other subject, a boy at the bottom of the school will tell you, that his aim is to get dollars, to raise his market value. There is nothing poetic in this aspiration, which cannot be compared with the enthusiastic love of classical study occasionally to be met with among school-boys in England; but it clearly shows the motive power. The deduction is evident. If there is not a steady annually increasing demand for English-speaking clerks, if new hongs, factories, and enterprises of all sorts do not arise; we must not be surprised at a stagnation, nor even at an ebb, in the influx of Chinese pupils. There will be no cause for anxiety until the average daily attendance fall below 653, which is the proportion to be expected from the 700 seats estimated as the necessary accommodation in the new building.\n\n6. **SUPPLY FROM GOVERNMENT DISTRICT SCHOOLS-** There is, however, one source of supply which does not appear to satisfy anticipation. I refer to the Government Anglo-Chinese Schools, the total Roll of which in 1892 was 539 while not more than 30 of their boys sought admission to Victoria College. As the total number in 1888 was 426, the increase of 100 in four years shows that these schools have no difficulty in obtaining scholars. Nor is this a matter for surprise when it is remembered that boys in our Lower and Preparatory Schools pay a dollar a month for an elementary English education which in these schools is provided free. The Inspector of Schools has, during the last two years, assured the Government that the majority of these boys are well able to pay the fees charged in the respective classes of Victoria College. The continued annual admission of four scholars from these schools, after competitive examination, to three years' free education at Victoria College, was one of the four questions of Financial Reform discussed in 1892 by the Registrar General, the Inspector of Schools, and myself. For the first time in ten years, no candidates presented themselves in 1893, and we are driven to the conclusion that there is no boy in these schools unable to pay the fees charged here. If this be so, what is to prevent 100 or even 150 boys being annually drafted from these five schools to Victoria College, and the seats thus vacated being occupied by others anxious to obtain free English elementary education? By the present system parents, who are reported to be capable of paying fees, keep their sons for four or five years at a Government Free School, and only send them to Victoria College to complete their education. This seems to be an abuse of the charitable object of the Government in establishing free schools.\n\n7. **PROMOTION.** Of the 72 Chinese boys forming Classes IA, and IB, on 11th March, 1893, I find from the College Register that 35 per cent. or 25 boys had not exceeded five years in progressing from Class VIII. where they learned the Alphabet, to Class I., where Shakespeare and the higher subjects are taught; but again 13 of these boys took only four years, and two others actually only three years to perform the same feat. The boys themselves deserve great praise for their steady application, but the chief interest in the fact recorded is the incidental evidence it affords to the excellence of the teaching in the Lower and Preparatory Schools, without which foundation, boys so rapidly promoted would have found it impossible to pursue their studies so successfully in the Upper School. There are on the other hand manifest objections to such rapid promotion. Theoretically each boy should ...\n\n## MINUTE.\n\nI am directed by Marquess of Ripon to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 18th ultimo asking that the want of a University degree may not be held to militate against your claim to promotion to the headmastership of the Queen's College when vacant.

O  \n10619 \n\n**THE SUPREME COURT**  \n**REC** April 3rd. 1996. **REG 16 MAY 06**\n\nwhich I addressed to him on his relinquishing the post.\n\nI have the honour to be,  \nSir,  \nYour Most Obedient  \nHumble Servant,  \nWilliam Rebrings\n\nSir,\n\nWith reference to my recent application for the acting paisne-judgeship and your reply thereto dated 6th ultimo informing me that His Excellency the Governor had already decided to appoint Mr. Smith to the post, I beg leave respectfully to state that although I have but recently joined the Hong-Kong Service I nevertheless cannot be looked upon as a new comer in the sense of a new arrival in an Eastern Colony, nor is it to be presumed that I received my present appointment without the Home Government being satisfied as to my possessing the necessary requirements for the position I hold.\n\n2.\n\nI have laboured for the last 15 years in a community by no means different to the one to be found here; indeed the elements are the same, the local laws differing but slightly, the manners, usages and customs of the natives who are the real and almost only litigants in the Courts being also the same as in the Straits Settlements.\n\n3.\n\nThe experience which I gained in Singapore, Penang and Malacca from the position of Acting Registrar, Commissioner of the Court of Requests and Magistrate of Police which I held altogether for 15 years, especially in Malacca where there is no Judge, and where the Registrar exercises large powers in the absence of a Judge, fully qualified me for the position I applied for.\n\nHaving made the service my profession after qualifying myself therefor with the service rules and precedents before me,\n\nThe Honourable,  \nThe Colonial Secretary.\n\nROL40.",

The question was considered in Executive Council and it was decided that under Section 68 of Ordinance 15 of 1889 as amended by Ordinance 35 of 1891 a revised schedule should be drawn up comprising increased rates and a new form\n\nRIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,\n\n40.",

(See pp. XX, XXI.) The Association do not dissent in many words from the final arrangement regards Sham Chun and the boundary of the New Territory (P. XXI); but they object to the policy of developing that territory out of revenue. That the effect will be to retard public works urgently needed in the island of Hong Kong is a natural inference. The Association do not quote instances of the works in question.\n\nThe assumption that piracy in the Two Kwang expresses, in a certain degree, dissatisfaction with the recent coup d'état at Peking is not confined to those well versed in Chinese politics. To an outsider it would only appear that a number of people in the neighborhood disposed to help themselves to other people's property when a suitable opportunity offers itself.\n\nThe Association's remarks on Hong Kong are mainly confined to recapitulating the correspondence of 1898-9 as to the \"right of interference\" in such cases. Their observations are rhetorical assertions; of no importance. (Pp. XX, XXI.)\n\n## CRA16\n\"Copy corres be or Individual. Act 1900 May 59 Coner? No. 13552 (Subject.)

        "content_text": "draft ordinance in `371/3` or in the supplementary draft ordinance `35259/5`?\n\nGWR.\n\n25 Jan'31\n\nJan\n\nI need not attempt to go into technical matters, construction, maintenance, etc. Assuming that the BoT is satisfied as to those matters, I am only concerned to see that the Govt and the public, and possibly other Electric undertakings, are protected from injury by the Company.\n\nSections 19, 20, and 22 are in common form, **Jamaica legislation** from Trinidad.\n\nSection 14 merely protects lives belonging to public departments, companies, and private persons whilst the tramway or part of it is in course of construction. It affords no protection to them against loss caused by the working of the tramway when once it is constructed. This protection is now afforded to the 2 companies by Sec 21, and I certainly think that this section should be extended to all Govt lines or subsidized by the Govt, as in the Natal Act.\n\nBut I incline to the view that the Telephone Co and all other companies already in existence should be protected equally with the Govt.\n\nIt is true that in the old order, whilst the Crown, **You! Town of Pato Spain** are absolutely protected (S.115), in the case of other undertakings, the onus is on their owners to show that any injury done to them is not owing to the defect of their own system. So also the **B. Guiana Tramway, License 1900**, clause 32.\n\nBut the **Electric Lighting (Clause) Act 1899**, S.S.20, in effect, requires a company to work its undertaking so as not injuriously to affect the lives of present or future electrical undertakings. If it does, it may be required to alter its system, unless the new-comer has placed its lines or wires in \"unreasonable proximity\" to those of the Company.\n\nI see no reason why a general section should not be inserted in this Tramway order on the lines of the above section - cf. Sec 5 of the **Natal Act** - so that the Tramways Co. may be liable to alter its own system or come to terms with the Telephone Co - i.e., pay for the alterations of the latter.\n\nThe Tramways Co. appears to have made rather a hard bargain with the Telephone Co., and I have not been able to find any reason why the latter should not share the statutory protection given to the other companies by Sec 21.\n\n? Draw the Corps attention to Sec 20 of the Act of 1899 and Secs 8, 9, 10, and 11 of the **Natal Act** and recommend protection of Govt lines and all other existing (if not statutory) electrical undertakings.\n\n& To add **B. Guiana Tramway** License.\n\n? Substitute 30 for 50 years, and, if so, the \"subsequent period of 5 years\" might perhaps be changed to 3 years to protect the public against accidents, danger, and injuries. It is practically Sec 77 of the above-quoted **1899 Act**.\n\nI think Sec 54 of this Act might usefully be inserted in this order to provide against accidents and injuries.\n\nJur 2.5.2.5/",

        "content_text": "Inclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nProvisional Regulations Governing the Registration of Trade-marks,\n\n(Translation.)\n\n1. ALL merchants, Chinese or foreign, wishing to make exclusive use of trade-marks must have them registered in conformity with the following Rules.\n\nThe principle underlying the constitution of a trade-mark is that it must, in design, in verbal description, or in whatever form it assumes, possess a distinctive character of its own. All three forms may be employed together or two together or separately.\n\n2. The Board of Commerce will establish an Office, which shall have sole control of matters connected with registration.\n\nThe custom-houses at Shanghae and Tien-tsin will be created branch offices of registry, where application for registration may be made, as most convenient to those concerned.\n\n3. All who desire to register trade-marks must send in their applications to the head office or to either of the branch offices.\n\n4. To every application must be appended a Memorandum. This Memorandum, in addition to giving a full description of the mark, must be accompanied by a triplicate copy of the same, must state the kind of goods it is intended to cover, and the classes or sub-classes under which they come. (For classification see below.) In the event of application being made to a branch office, it and the Memorandum must be made out in duplicate.\n\n5. If, on the receipt of an application, the head office finds it to be in order, and if, within a period of six months, no protest against the same shall have been made, registration will be proceeded with,\n\n6. Applications in respect of marks resembling each other, or for the same or similar kinds of goods. will be entertained in order of their presentation. The first comer will have the right to registration. All marks, in respect of which application is made on the same day and at the same time, will be registered.\n\n7. In the case of trade-marks registered abroad, if application for registration be made within a period of four months from the date of original registration the date of original registration will be accepted (as the date from which registration in China shall count).\n\n8. Trade-marks which infringe the following conditions cannot be registered :-(a.) Marks likely to injure young or old, offending against morality, or harbouring an intent to deceive;\n\n(b) Marks embodying symbols or phraseology reserved for Government use, e.g., Imperial or official seals, the national standard or military flags, or devices appropriated for the reward of merit (such as the insignia of an Order) ;\n\n(c.) Marks already registered, and marks resembling, or of the same nature as, marks which for over two years prior to the application for registration have been publicly used in China or have covered a similar class of goods;\n\n(d) Marks in respect of articles which cannot be clearly specified.\n\n9. The period during which Chinese or foreign merchants shall have the exclusive right to a trade-mark is limited to twenty years from the date of registration.\n\nThe period for trade-marks registered abroad which it is desired to register in China shall count from the date of original registration, but in no case must it exceed twenty years.\n\n10. If owners of a trade-mark wish to have their exclusive rights therein continued, they must, within six months prior to the date of expiry, give notice of their intention to renew registration.\n\n11. If an owner of a registered trade-mark wishes to transfer his exclusive rights therein to another, or to give others a share therein, he must at once give notice to the Registration Office and have the fact recorded.\n\n12. If a mark already registered contravenes paragraphs (a), (b), or (d) of Regulation 8, the Registrar will have the right to cancel the same.\n\n13. Any one who considers himself injured by the fact that a trade-mark has been registered in contravention of Regulation 6 or Regulation 8 (c) may apply to the Registrar to have registration cancelled, but he must do so within a period of three years from the date of registration.\n\n14. The Registrar must state in writing any reasons he may have for refusing to register a trade-mark,\n\n15. Any reason for objection to the Registrar's ruling under Regulation 14 must be filed within six months from the date of refusal to register. If this be done the decision will be subject to revision.\n\n16. Applicants for registration, or owners of trade-marks not resident in China or residing at a distance from the Registration Office, must appoint some trustworthy agent to act for them.\n\n17. Copies of entries on the register, or permission to inspect the register, may be applied for through the Registration Office or its branches. Those residing at a distance may apply through their agent.\n\n18. The Registrar will publish a \"Trade-Marks Gazette\" with a list of trade-marks, and of any matters concerning the registration or cancellation of the same.\n\n19. At the instance of the owners of exclusive rights in a trade-mark, suits may be instituted against any who may infringe such rights, and on conviction the latter will be mulcted in damages.\n\n20. Suits for infringement of trade-marks will be conducted as follows:--\n\n(a.) If the defendant be a foreigner, the local authorities will move the Consul concerned to hold a joint investigation and trial;\n\n(b.) If the defendant be a Chinese, the Consul concerned will communicate with the Chinese authorities, and a joint investigation will take place;\n\n(c.) If both plaintiff and defendant are Chinese, or if both are foreigners, the Courts concerned will, in a case of infringement, afford all necessary protection.\n\n21. The under-mentioned offences are punishable with imprisonment up to one year and a fine not exceeding 300 taels, but judgment can only be given in a suit instituted by the party aggrieved:--\n\n(a.) Any attempt to use a similar class of goods or to imitate a registered trade-mark belonging to another party, or to offer the same for sale;\n\n(b.) To imitate a trade-mark or apply it to a similar class of goods, or knowingly to sell such goods or have the same on the premises for purposes of sale;\n\n(c.) To use an imitation of a trade-mark as a \"chop,\" or to employ for purposes of advertisement;\n\n(d) Knowingly to use packages or wrappers bearing the registered trade-mark of others for the same class of goods, or knowingly to offer the same for sale;\n\n(e.) To import goods, being well aware of the fact that they infringe the trade-mark rights of others.\n\n22. In the event of any infringement such as described in Regulation 21 being discovered, all trade-marks or articles used for making the same shall be confiscated, and any goods or wrappers, packages, or \"chops\" which cannot be dissociated from the marks they bear shall be destroyed.\n\n23. Chinese or foreigners must pay fees according to the following scale in connection with the registration of their marks and the issue of certificates:\n\nFor every copy of a document connected with registered trade-marksHaikuan taels.5\nOn every application to register a trade-mark30\nOn registration of a mark and issue of a stamped certificate20\nOn transfer of or declaration of partnership in a mark25\nOn renewal of registration2\nIf above 100 characters, for every additional 100 characters0.50\nFor inspecting register, every half-hour1\nFor renewal of certificate if lost10\nOn reporting any case of fraudulent imitation5\nOn requesting transfer of ownership rights to next of kin, in the event of death5\nOn application for reconsideration of a ruling given80\nOn application to cancel registration...\n\nSupplementary Regulations.\n\n24. The above Regulations will come into force on the 15th day of the 9th Moon of the 30th year of Kuang Hsü (23rd October, 1904).\n\n[2156 ce-2]",

        "content_text": "8\n\nit is open to question whether the registration of the same or similar marks by more than one applicant is fair or reasonable. There are many marks in use in Shanghae to-day which bear a very close resemblance to one another. One mark, perhaps, is registered, the others have been used for a longer or shorter period, and their use is either known and permitted, or it may not be known,\n\nWould it not be fairer in such a case to grant registration to the owner of the mark registered in a foreign country, and to none of the others, than to register them all?\n\nAgain, in the case of similar marks, none of which are registered in a foreign country, would it not be preferable to grant registration only to the user who could establish priority and to deny registration to others?\n\nIt would seem that on the one hand the applicant has good grounds for preference, while on the other his claim to registration rests merely on his being the first comer.\n\nHow far this point may be covered by Regulation 13 it is impossible to say until the code is compiled, defining the basis on which claims to cancellation must rest.\n\nPrior use of a mark for two years gives the proprietor the right over all comers, and under Regulation 8 (c) such marks will not be granted registration on the application of any one party. The Regulation says \"cannot be registered,\" but it may be taken for granted that the meaning is \"cannot be registered by any one but the party showing his prior right, based on two years' use.\" This question of priority, carrying with it protection, has apparently been differently viewed by different readers of the Regulations. To some it appears quite plain that the wording of the Regulations secures permanent protection to the owners of marks such as described in clause 8 (c) without its being incumbent on them to register now or at any future time, i.e., priority of use constitutes protection in perpetuity free of all obligation to comply with the ordinary terms of registration. Again, the necessity for the code forces itself upon one, to determine a disputed point, but speaking with all deference to the above opinion, it is difficult to believe, viewing the Regulations as a whole, and claiming only a reasonable interpretation of their clauses, that the above opinion will prove to be the correct one.\n\nRegulation states that exclusive right to a trade-mark is conditional on registration, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations, and no distinction between old and new marks is made or even implied.\n\nRegulation 13 affords a very reasonable period of three years for owners of established marks to obtain redress for infringement, but, if established marks are entitled to perpetual protection, the object of the three years' limit in which to lodge a protest is not apparent.\n\nIn Regulation 9 exclusive rights in any trade-mark, whether registered abroad or in China, lapse after a period of twenty years, unless renewed in accordance with Regulation 10, and there is nothing in these clauses to justify the inference that renewal at home takes the place of renewal in China.\n\nSupplementary Regulation 26 makes provision for the registration in China of trade-marks already registered abroad. If it is assumed that trade-marks registered abroad do not require registration in China, this provision is superfluous, and the same may be said of detailed Rule 9. It may, of course, be argued that these provisions are necessary in order to enable applicants to register marks already registered abroad, should they elect to do so, without any compulsion in the matter being employed, but it may fairly be assumed, in answer to this argument, that if protection without registration is assured, the alternative, involving heavy expenditure, is hardly likely to be chosen, and need not be reckoned with.\n\nAs further showing the necessity to register all marks to which exclusive rights are claimed or desired, Supplementary Regulation 27 states clearly that marks formerly protected by proclamation will cease to enjoy that protection unless registration be made within six months of the opening of the Registration Office.\n\nMr. Jamieson. Allow me to interrupt for one moment. You may not be aware that most Chinese firms' marks are registered locally by local proclamation, and, as I read their Rules as being primarily intended for Chinese, this applies to Chinese and not to foreigners. I think that explanation may tend to clear up the reading of that Rule.\n\nMr. Scott. This seems to indicate even more clearly than any of the other Regulations the intentions underlying them, viz., that all trade-marks, if claimed to be the exclusive property of any individual, firm, or corporate body, must be registered, as protection will not be continued even to those marks in respect of which the Chinese authorities are cognizant, and for which they have received fees. \"The British Trade-marks Act, 1883,\" section 103, paragraph 1, says: \"Arrangements with foreign States, for the mutual protection of trade-marks, &c., that any person who has applied for protection for any invention, design, or trade-mark, shall be entitled to registration of his design or trade-mark in priority of other applicants.\" Paragraph 3 says: \"The applications for the registration of a trade-mark under this section must be made in the same manner as ordinary applications.\"\n\nI believe it to be a fact that in no country in Europe or elsewhere can permanent protection be claimed for a trade-mark unless it be registered in accordance with the laws of that country, and why should the contrary be expected of China? The concluding clause of the British Treaty with the United States for the protection of trade-marks, of the 24th October, 1877, reads: \"It is understood that any person who desires to obtain the aforesaid protection must fulfil the formalities required by the laws of the respective countries.\"\n\nIf it were\n\nThe question whether the proposed fees are reasonable or otherwise entirely depends on the decision of the point we have just been considering. only necessary to register new marks, the fees, though high compared with England or France, are moderate when compared with the scale charged in the United States, but even then some of the items charged are perhaps open to criticism.\n\nA comparison of the English scale may, in the first instance, be useful.\n\nEngland\nChina\n\nApplication to register\n£ s. d.\n4 1 0\nHaikwan taels\n5.00\n\nRegistration and certificate\n\n30.00\n\nRegistration, one or more article in one class\n5 0\n\nRegistration for series of marks, every additional representation after the first in each class\n1 0 0\n0.50\n\n0 0 4\n\nAssignment to another party (partnership)\n\n20.00\n\n1 0 0\n\nRenewal of registration (China, 20 years; England, 14 years)\n\n25.00\n\n0 0 2\n\nRenewal of last certificate (copy of ratification)\n\n2.00\n\nReporting imitation (notice of opposition)\n\n10.00\n\nApplication for reconsideration (appeal from Comptroller)\n1 0 0\n5.00\n\nCopy of documents 300 words, per 100\n\n1.00\n\nInspecting register- China, per hour\n0 0 4\n\nEngland, per 4 hour\n\n1.00\n\n(The French scale is considerably lower.)\n\nIt will be noted that the English scale makes registration very cheap, and it is only when it is sought to prove that a registered mark is not in order, or to appeal to the Board of Trade against a decision of the Comptroller, that the fees are slightly in excess of the Chinese scale. To continue; on the assumption that marks registered abroad must be registered here, the cost per mark would be as follows:-\n\nApplication\nHaikwan taels\n5\n\nRegistration\n30\n\nCopy of certificate from home, 5s., say\n2\n\nCost of translating documents into Chinese, say\n5\n\nTotal\n42\n\nIn addition to this, it must be remembered that it would probably be necessary to spend several half-hours at 1 tael each searching the registers. The result of which might be a refusal to grant registration, followed by an application for reconsideration of ruling, costing 5 taels.\n\nIt may be remarked here that those who hold that registration of registered marks is unnecessary would undoubtedly find their marks registered by others, owing to the registration office not being in possession of the necessary data preventing such registrations.\n\nAn application for cancelment would cost the rightful owner 30 taels for each occasion of infringement, which, in the end, would be much more expensive than\n\n[2288 e-3]\n\n9",

After consulting by telegraph Sir John Jordan, I sent the Viceroy a copy of the despatch in question and also of correspondence between Sir Ernest Satow and the Wai-wu Pu regarding the Szechuan Railway.\n\nSir John Jordan now instructs me that, although the question of raising loans for the main lines south and west from Hankow is not yet settled, I should forward at once to your Excellency copies of the above important documents in case your Excellency, as a new comer, should not be aware of what has passed; and I have therefore the honour to do so.\n\nIn the Agreement for the redemption of the Hankow-Canton Railway Concession made in 1905 between the Grand Secretary Chang and the then Minister at Washington, Liang, as China's Representatives, and the China Development Company it is stipulated that China shall be responsible for the payment of the principal and interest of the Chinese Government bonds issued through that Company to the amount of 2,222,000 dollars gold and not presented for redemption by the holders, the parties deducting 90 per cent. of the face value of these bonds from the compensation payable to the Company under the Agreement. But, according to a statement of the French Minister's to our Minister, the Belgian Minister alleges that the interest on these bonds has never been paid by China during the three years since the resumption of the American Concession, and on this the Belgian Government founds a claim to the preferential right of lending money to build this line, a preference which is also made to rest on a letter written in 1898 by his Excellency Sheng to the Belgian Railway Company promising that, if the provisional contract with the American Company should not result in a definitive Agreement, the right to build the Hankow-Canton Railway should pass to the Belgian Company. Although that promise was, properly speaking, annulled by the regular Agreement between China and the American Company concluded in 1900, the Belgians persist in bringing the letter forward as a reason, backed by the failure to pay the interest due on the bonds for depriving Britain of the preference granted by his Excellency Chang.\n\nI trust your Excellency will be good enough as soon as possible to let me know whether the interest has in fact been duly paid or not, in order that I may transmit the information which he calls for to my superior.\n\nI avail, &c.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received August 10,)\n\n(No. 288.) Sir,\n\nPeking, June 24, 1908. WITH reference to your despatch No. 174 of the 3rd April, I have the honour to state that on the 15th May I received a letter from Mr. Bland, representing the Chinese Central Railways (Limited), requesting me to draw the attention of the Chinese Government to the fact that the Preliminary Agreement of the 6th January, 1899, for the construction of a railway from Pukow to Sinyang remained unfulfilled.\n\nA copy of\n\nAfter consultation with Mr. Bland, I decided to wait until the Shanghae-Hangchow-Ningpo Railway loan was issued; and soon afterwards, on the 12th June, I addressed a note to the Wai-wu Pu, copy of which is inclosed for your information.\n\nI have not yet heard anything in reply on the subject,\n\nThe inconsistency referred to in your despatch under acknowledgment was mentioned to Mr. Bland, who pointed it out to Mr. Cordes, the representative of the German group. His reply to Mr. Bland was :-\n\n\"I admit that there is a discrepancy about the financing of branch lines to the northern section of the railway. I have always known that, and thought that it was a matter for London and Berlin to settle.”\n\nMr. Bland has asked his London Board to request the German Bank to define their position in respect of this discrepancy.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\nInclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\n(Translation.) Sir,\n\nViceroy Ch'en to Consul-General Fraser,\n\nJune 6, 1908.\n\nI HAVE perused your note and the copies of correspondence inclosed in it. The successful accomplishment of the redemption of the Yueh-Han Railway was entirely due to your great kindness as the copies of the despatch and letters on record in the archives of my office show.\n\nAs regards the interest of the Gold Dollar Loan Bonds mentioned in the Hankow-Canton Railway Redemption Agreement the interest due to the amount of United States 55,550 dollars has been duly paid up to the 1st May, 1908 (Kuang Hsü 34th year, 4th moon, 2nd day), on every 1st May and 1st November by our Minister to the United States into the New York Bank in full; and on each occasion of payment 4,444 coupons have been sent back to Hupei to be cancelled. Thus the Belgian Minister's assertion that during the three years since the redemption no interest has been paid is manifestly incorrect.\n\nWith regard to the Belgian Company's reliance on Sheng Kung-pao's declaratory letter, as the Belgian Company was to have taken over the business from the Development Company, the Belgian Company cannot found any claim on the letter which his Excellency Sheng gave it previous to the buying up of the Development Company.\n\nI avail, &c. (Card of Ch'en K'uei-lung.)\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nMr. Bland to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nPeking, May 15, 1908. UNDER instructions of the Board of Directors of the Chinese Central Railways (Limited), I have the honour to request that your Excellency may be good enough to draw the attention of the Chinese Government to the fact that the Preliminary Agreement signed by his Excellency Shêng, Director-General of Chinese Railways, and Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co., on the 6th January, 1899, for the construction of a railway from Pukow to Sinyang remains unfulfilled.\n\nA basis for the completion of this undertaking being provided in the Final Agreement recently signed in respect to the Tien-tsin-Pukow Railway, the Board of Directors hopes that the Chinese Government may now be pleased to authorize the necessary negotiations at an early date.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. O. P. BLAND.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nSir J. Jordan to Wai-wu Pu.\n\nYour Highness,\n\nPeking, June 12, 1908.

The work involves no engineering problems and I understand that Mr. Barry is satisfied that Mr. Eves could carry it out. Or alternatively if the Contractors accept the Government's offer and complete their task the supervision can be largely transferred to the District Engineer (Mr. Logan) who as soon as the tunnel heading is through (about June 1st) will be able to walk through the tunnel instead of crossing the hills, and can thus supervise to the South as well as the North. It, however, appears probable that if the Contract remains in Messrs. Leigh and Orange's hands Mr. Eves will continue to create friction.\n\n9. On the other hand it is admitted that Mr. Eves is a good office man, that he is economical, and that he has a thorough knowledge of every plan and drawing, and of every item connected with the Railway which it would take a new-comer a long time to acquire.\n\n10.

        "content_text": "2\n\nUnfortunately the Chinese authorities, though fully aware of the importance of preventing an anti-foreign outbreak, are apparently unable either to prevent or repress disturbances of this nature, and the recent events at Changsha prove that even the presence of a large body of trained soldiers of the Chinese regular army cannot be considered as an adequate guarantee that disorder will be promptly put down.\n\nHis Majesty's consul-general at Hankow has informed me that the provincial officials are very anxious as to the situation caused by the scarcity of rice, which will get worse until the beginning of the 6th moon of the Chinese year, when the new crop will begin to reach the market, and he yesterday addressed me the telegram of which I have the honour to enclose a paraphrase.\n\nI venture to hope that your Excellency will concur with me in the opinion that it would be advisable for the present to station a large ship of His Majesty's navy off Hankow, whose presence would probably act as a deterrent, and which, in the event of disturbances, would be able to afford adequate protection to the interests, lives, and property of His Majesty's subjects.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(No. 20.)\n\n(Telegraphic.) P.\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nW. G. MAX MÜLLER.\n\nConsul-General Fraser to Mr. Max Müller.\n\nCHANGSHA riots.\n\nHankow, April 18, 1910.\n\nThe general prestige of the Chinese provincial authorities has been seriously impaired, and the lawless and anti-foreign element ever present in all the large centres has been greatly encouraged by the unprecedented events at Changsha. So much so that I think that the danger of disturbances at Hankow is increased by the news, at most certain to be exaggerated, that authority has been successfully defied in the capital of Hunan, for there are still a number of refugees collected here, the price of rice is abnormally high, there exists a large school for students from Hunan, and victory over the foreigners and the Government is the boast of the native press and railway promoters. In 1900 unrest only subsided on the arrival of the cruiser \"Pique,\" and the new Viceroy, whatever his energy, does not possess the prestige of Chang Chih-tung, which was so valuable at that time.\n\nI have therefore the honour to suggest that, until the price of rice falls to a normal level and the danger of the trouble in Hunan spreading is past, a large war-ship should be stationed at this port.\n\nEnclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Fraser to Mr. Max Müller.\n\nHankow, April 18, 1910.\n\n(No. 44.) Sir,\n\nThe recent outbreak at Changsha, although its apparent beginning was a protest against the authorities' failure to open the rice granaries as promised, had not the character of a mere outburst of popular exasperation.\n\nMy telegrams and semi-official letter of yesterday are corroborated by the unanimous reports of foreigners in Changsha at the time. The facts to be deduced are that the work of destruction—which during the night of the 13th-14th April was very limited—proceeded, after an interval of quiet for some hours in the morning, during the whole of the 14th and most of the 15th April in a leisurely and methodical manner, under the eyes of the troops (whose idleness is ascribed to absence of orders), by parties of two score (more or less) directed by men not of the lower classes at all; that, except for the doubtful report of a statement by some rioters of an intention to kill two foreigners in order to ensure the governor's capital punishment, there is no sign of any wish to kill any of the numerous foreigners, whom the attack found utterly defenceless within a walled city in the middle of the night; that the wilful destruction was confined to foreign and official property and shops dealing in foreign goods and that no rented premises were burned; and that so soon as the authorities chose to exert themselves at all the rioting ceased.\n\nIf the facts are as above stated, I submit that the loss of property was due entirely to an anti-foreign and apparently anti-Government organisation of no considerable size, and could have been prevented but for the criminal supineness of the native authorities.\n\nThe institution of provincial assemblies under a very narrow franchise has, as previously reported, transferred power from the regular officials to parties of gentry and expectants entirely lacking in the sense of responsibility and the traditions which have enabled an administration—to our eyes corrupt and inefficient—to continue to maintain in practice peace and order to an extraordinary extent.\n\nThe native press, fed by students and sciolists in history and government, has disseminated contempt of the existing régime as well as hatred of aliens, and has puffed every attack on the existing order of things. The central Government has, according to the papers, betrayed China's interests, but is unable to resist the importunity of delegates from provincial associations and self-styled representatives of the nation.\n\nThe recent partition and debt-redemption agitation have caused general unrest, and now comes the successful defiance of a provincial Government in its own city by a small section of the inhabitants—an incident utterly without precedent in the annals of this dynasty. Even when, in 1884, after the Mamoi bombardment, His Majesty's consul at Foochow was besieged in the Viceroy's yamên, no actual violence was resorted to and foreign property was not attacked.\n\nIn my opinion there is very grave danger lest the news of the Changsha happenings possibly in an exaggerated form, but certainly under the name of a patriotic cleansing of the city from alien pollution—should encourage other cities opened by treaty to foreigners to test the ability and will of their rulers to afford protection.\n\nThese three cities are the nearest to the scene, and here, too, price of rice affords the same pretext for starting trouble, especially as several thousands of famine refugees still loiter at Hankow. The local papers have been distinguished by patriotic zeal, and the railway agitators have hesitated at no libel on foreign nations and their own statesmen, whether at their frequent public meetings or in leaflets distributed far and wide. A Chinese metropolitan official, for daring to oppose their views, was last week all but kidnapped on the streets of this concession, and has had to be smuggled away to Shanghae. The Treasurer Yang, lately acting as Viceroy, supported the associations' demands in telegrams to Peking, and is, I am assured, about to be gazetted Governor of Hunan.\n\nThe new Viceroy is sending troops to Hunan, and has forbidden the holding of any meetings in these three cities; but he is a new-comer, and in any case does not enjoy the extraordinary reputation among the people, and especially the educated classes, which gave the late Grand Secretary Chang so great an advantage in the troublous summer of 1900. Even with their Excellencies Chang and Liu at Wuchang and Nanking openly determined to keep their provinces in order and foreign life and property intact, there were some local troubles in Hupei—an uneasiness among natives and foreigners alike until His Majesty's ship \"Pique\" arrived here.\n\nI have no information to justify the assertion that the presence of a large ship of war here is—as yet, at any rate—necessary; and I am fully aware that this is by no means the only port where the Changsha example may lead to a perilous situation. I am of opinion, however, that, if it can be arranged to place a large ship here during the two or three months for which the rice scarcity is likely to continue, or at least until the echoes of last week's events have died away, the minds of Chinese and foreigners would be relieved of anxiety and the chance of disturbance minimised.\n\nThe water-mark is at present 34 ft. 6 in., and it is most improbable, judging from past records, that it will fall below 25 feet until the autumn.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nE. H. FRASER.\n\n103",

        "content_text": "# \n279 were 35 person who is most representative of the Government and the people of Hongkong, and on their name I wish to offer your Excellencies very hearty thanks for the invitation extended to us to take part in what will doubtless be one of the leading events of the history of South China, and for the hospitality which has been extended to us\n\nThe toast of Success to the Canton-Kowloon Railway is really a toast of success to Anglo-Chinese co-operation for joint working to our mutual profit. You accepted our assistance in building the Chinese section of this line. You employed British engineers in it. And that section is part of the joint Canton-Kowloon line. The mere name shows that the working has been co-operative. We have not called our line the Kowloon-Lown line, and you have not called your line the Canton-Samchun line. It is one line-the Canton-Kowloon line-with two sections, one British and one Chinese. And as part of the co-operative working of that line we have been for some time discussing with you a working agreement for it. This agreement is now, except for formal confirmation, concluded.\n\nThere were difficulties to be met in several that agreement, and naturally the main one was on the division of profits. (Laughter.) We thought you had your views: we had ours. Consideration should be given to the great proportionate cost of our shorter length owing to our tunnels. You quoted your bridges. That matter is now concluded, and I don't think Mr. Chao, who conducted the negotiations with Mr. Clementi and Mr. Lindsey, is of opinion that we English are grasping or very greedy. We have a proverb that neighbours should be neighbourly, and I think it should be neighbourly, and will be found in this instance that we have acted up to our proverb.\n\nAnother matter required settling. We in Hongkong have a free port; you in China collect a material portion of your revenue from Customs duties. It was obviously desirable to make such arrangements as would not, on the one hand, hamper the working of passenger traffic on the line, and, on the other hand, endanger your revenue. We are very distrustful of anything like Customs in Hongkong. We are suspicious. And even the personality of our friend Mr. Harris was unable to remove those suspicions altogether, I think Mr. Harris will admit that we are perhaps watching him closely in seeing that he is not doing what he ought not to do, but we gave him every facility for protecting that great revenue which it is his duty to look after.\n\nWell, your Excellencies, we have taken these steps not only because we wished to be neighbourly, but also for a pecuniary reason. We have sunk a good deal of capital in our share of the line, and we want it to pay, and we can only get the maximum benefit from it with the heartiest co-operation between the two sections, the Chinese and British. That it will pay I personally have not the slightest doubt. I come from the Straits, the Malay Peninsula, and down there they have built 400 odd miles, and are still building, not, as here, through a country overflowing with industries and a thriving population, but in great part jungles interspersed with Malay villages, and the Malay, though he has many virtues, has never been accused of industry.\n\nWe have frequently put in lengths of line there, not with a view to immediate profits, but expecting that in the long distance they would pay. Time after time we found that immediately they were opened they paid handsomely; that people who had never travelled in their lives became enthusiastic travellers and that the revenue went up immediately. I have not the slightest doubt that will happen here also, and I believe the local traffic alone will pay all working expenses and a handsome sum towards the interest on the capital.\n\nThen there is the long distance traffic. This line is quite a small portion of a line that before long will be reaching until it joins the main line to Europe. I am a recent comer to Hongkong, but I expect to be passing Samchun with a ticket in my pocket to London, and a return ticket at that. (Applause) Apart from that very long distance traffic, there is the China traffic alone. This section will be part of a line running from Peking through all the populous provinces of China with their cities, towns and villages down to Hongkong, one of the great ocean ports of the world, and a port for the last 70 years through which the greater part of the trade of China has passed.\n\nThat such a line cannot pay handsomely is inconceivable. And I would remind your Excellencies that as much as you have used Hong-kong in the past I believe you will use it still more in the future. Every year ships are getting bigger and bigger, they want deeper and deeper water, more and more accommodation, and more and more facilities. A big port can meet the ocean traffic on those lines in a way no small port ever can, and I believe we shall still be doing very much business with Canton for many years to come.\n\nAnd, your Excellencies, I can assure you on behalf of the Government and merchants of Hongkong that nothing will be left undone to make that great port even more useful to you, and to maintain it in its position among the ocean ports of the world. (Applause.)\n\nI have said this Canton-Kowloon Railway is a monument to Anglo-Chinese co-operation, and I believe it will lead to still further co-operation. It will bring the Cantonese still closer in touch with the inhabitants of Hongkong, and I firmly believe the more we see of one another, the more we know of one another, the more ready we shall be to work with one another. (Applause.)\n\nYour Excellencies, it is the earnest wish of your British guests that any future enterprise of Anglo Chinese co-operation may begin under as happy auspices as has this Canton-Kowloon Railway. (Applause.)\n\n## \n\nHis Honour CHAO CHING Hua, Managing Director of the Imperial Chinese Section of the Canton-Kowloon Railway, said:-Your Excellencies and Gentlemen,-I desire no greater pleasure than to be able to express my gratitude to the officials, gentry and the staff of the railways of the two sections for the honour shown by them in attending this pleasurable and interesting function.\n\nThe opening of the first section of this railway, which took place within a lapse of 10 months, and to-day we are here witnessing the opening of the whole line and the connection of the two sections. This function, which is the last in connection with this railway, will mark the through opening and the connection of this railway with that of the British section, and principally it will mark the strengthening of the close friendship which is...",

It is, I think, obvious that in order that the Treasurer may fully exercise the responsibilities imposed upon him by the Colonial Regulations (vide Rules 218 and 299), there should be in the Treasury an Officer or Officers whose particular duties include the detailed examination of the accounts and vouchers prior to their submission for audit. As explained in Rule 220 of the Colonial Regulations, the work carried out by the Audit Department does not absolve the Treasurer from his defined responsibilities with regard to the accuracy of the accounts and it would, I think, be advisable to enquire of the Governor how in the apparent absence of a complete departmental organisation these responsibilities are effectively discharged.\n\nDr Stabls\n\nEmporite accordingly\n\n-All S\n\nRemind? com 5/5\n\n・alome Af\n\n-76/1\n\nM.Q",

No one knows what the waste has been in the past, if this report is taken as an example.\" \n\nThe HON. MR. WEI YUK seconded, and this was agreed to.\n\n## The Government Civil Hospital\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-I promised at the last meeting of the Council to give a more detailed reply to the third of the questions which were put at that meeting by the hon. member nominated by the Justices of the Peace. That question was worded as follows: \"Was not the stock of drugs and disinfectants kept in store at the Government Civil Hospital considerably reduced by the present Principal Civil Medical Officer before the war?\"\n\nThe matter was fully investigated, two Chinese officers were dismissed from the service, and steps were taken to put the store administration upon a proper footing. Prior to 1913, the Principal Civil Officer, although he signed orders for stores, was not consulted as to their issue, which was under the general supervision of the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital. It was, and it still is, the rule, that Government servants drawing less than £300 a year can obtain medicines free at the hospital, while those drawing £300 or upwards were allowed to purchase medicines at approximately cost price. The term \"medicine\" for the purposes of the rule was supposed to denote a preparation for the treatment of disease prescribed by a Government or a private medical practitioner.\n\nIt is necessary, as a preliminary step, to examine the conditions pertaining at the Civil Hospital, prior to Dr. Johnson's appointment in the matter of the control and issue of drugs and disinfectants. The keys of the store, nominally in charge of the Apothecary, were kept openly on a hook in the dispensary. From 1 pm daily, until the following morning, the dispensary was left in the sole charge of three Chinese dispensers. Two of these slept in the hospital premises, and all three had free access to the drug and disinfectant store.\n\nIn most cases, prescriptions were not even seen by a medical officer. The Apothecary states: \"With regard to prescriptions, once anything had been prescribed, the patients could, as far as I could see, repeat it ad libitum, and frequent cases occurred of the same mixture having been supplied for six to twelve months or even longer. The patient no doubt thought it was required and also took it, but it allowed of no medical supervision.\" The Apothecary quotes the case of a member of the Police Force who was supplied regularly with malt and cod liver oil from October, 1911, to June, 1914.\n\nDr. Johnson arrived in the Colony on the 15th January, 1913, and on the 28th January, he brought it to the notice of the Government that 40 gallons of spirits of wine, ordered by Dr. Bell, the Acting Principal Civil Medical Officer, on the 13th December, and duly entered by the Apothecary in the stock-book as taken into store, had never in fact been received at all. Not long afterwards, he reported that an examination of certain cases of brandy in the store showed that various bottles had been emptied of their contents and had been filled with water, being re-corked in some instances with corks identical with those used in the dispensary.\n\nThe sudden upsetting of old custom, the drastic changes insisted upon by the new-comer, who had unwittingly excited rancorous jealousy among certain persons then in the Colony because he had accepted an appointment offered him by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, which many had hoped would go to Dr. Bell, raised a storm of disapproval and of indignation at the Civil Hospital, and among the various charges published on the house-tops against Dr. Johnson was the one now again brought forward, that he was improperly cutting down the hospital supplies.\n\nImmediately after his arrival in the Colony, Dr. Johnson began personally to investigate the administration of the stores at the Civil Hospital. On the 7th February, 1913, he wrote to the Superintendent: \"I notice that over 200 dozen bottles of various kinds have been issued during January. This is quite sufficient for the entire needs of the Army, Navy, and Civil hospitals of the Colony, and would even then be excessive.\" Dr. Johnson set his face against the then prevailing practice of ordering stocks of patent medicines, popular for a time and then discarded.\n\nWith regard to this, he reports: \"Heaping purchases, which are often not well-considered ones, is not a sound policy. I have been asked for various proprietary medicines like A and B (it is unnecessary to give the names). Neither of these is necessary. They are both capable at the most of relieving symptoms, and B, besides being expensive, is as nice as a sweetmeat to the taste. But they are of no particular import, except to the proprietors, and it is a reasonable thing to avoid the purchase of patent and proprietary articles which are, for the most part, of no special value.\"\n\nDr. Johnson paid particular attention to the issue of brandy in the Civil Hospital, the number of bottles supplied being in 1910, 408, and in 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915, 312, 204, 192, and 127 respectively. Dr. Johnson reports that he is quite satisfied that no patient has been one particle the worse for this diminished issue.\n\n| Year | Number of Bottles |\n|------|--------------------|\n| 1910 | 408                |\n| 1912 | 312                |\n| 1913 | 204                |\n| 1914 | 192                |\n| 1915 | 127                |\n\nDr. Johnson also terminated a practice under which hypodermic solutions were prepared in bottles containing a large number of doses, the syringe being filled from the bottle. The practice was wasteful because solutions became stale and were thrown away. The present practice is to supply tabloids and ampoules containing fresh single doses.\n\nHe similarly prevented waste in the matter of chloroform by supplying, as far as possible, 4 oz. bottles to the Operating Theatre in place of 1 lb. bottles; surplus chloroform in the latter bottles having frequently been discarded on the plea that it had deteriorated.\n\nAbout July, 1915, the Apothecary, unknown to Dr. Johnson, compiled a list chiefly of patent drugs which had been in stock unused for some time, and he asked the doctors connected with the hospital whether they could prescribe the articles in question, in order to prevent waste. As far as the Apothecary remembers, none were used.\n\nI may also quote an extract from \"Rules for Economy in Prescribing,\" which appeared last year in an article in the British Medical Journal: \"Avoid the use of all patent and proprietary medicines. The secret remedies and more secret remedies, published by the British Medical Association, has shown how expensive they are without any compensating merits.\"\n\nIn 1914, Dr. Johnson sent in an indent smaller than the customary one. It had been the custom to order for some eighteen months in advance, and Dr. Johnson very properly decided to indent for shorter periods, and to send forward supplementary requisitions as the requirements became known. With regard to this indent, the following minute by Dr. Bell is on record: ...",

        "content_text": "Mr. WITCHELL: Yes, but they return as quickly as they are deported. Sometimes it is proved that they illtreat the inmates and they are sent to prison. I have known cases where severe sentences have been imposed on persons who detain girls against their will.\n\nA MEMBER: The best thing to do is to hand them over to the Chinese authorities. Mr. WITCHELL remarked that as long as procurers do not interfere with the wives and concubines of the officials, the latter do not take much notice of it in China.\n\nMr. WELLS stated that there were so many millions in China, and for purposes of prostitution only a small fraction migrated to Hongkong. It was a trade which produced millions of dollars; therefore, a fine of even $2,000 was nothing.\n\nA MEMBER stated that he had heard there was more prostitution in America and Europe than in China.\n\nMr. WELLS replied that that was probably so.\n\nA MEMBER said that one reason for that was that in China every man was provided with a wife.\n\nMr. WELLS: Yes, the idea being that a man who cannot afford a wife cannot carry on prostitution.\n\nMr. FEMING: In case a WOMAN can choose her husband, is there a special reason like Leap Year?\n\nMr. WELLS: Nobody chooses husbands in China. One out of a million may choose her husband.\n\nMr. FLEMING remarked that he observed a number of Chinese youths going out for tea with girls. There was surely an element of choice now-a-days?\n\nMr. WELLS: That is becoming so. There are educated girls and boys now. The girls who go to Wiseman's, for instance, are educated.\n\nA MEMBER stated that the question of employers paying small wages, as the Chairman had pointed out, was one of the reasons why they could not support their families. He was a new-comer to the Colony but what struck him forcibly was that there were so many men who did manual labour. Everything was drawn by men, wagons, etc. It is a very uneconomical way of handling freight. He had noticed some work done by the P.W.D. which he thought cost twice as much as it would have cost in America. They ought to provide the men with proper tools; and although a member might be thrown out of work as a result, it would only be for a time. Better tools provide better workmanship, better wages and more spending power. The result would be that labour would become necessary elsewhere and the men would then all have employment.\n\nThe Rev. G. UPPDELL wished to know whether it was considered that labour was paid cheaply compared with the Chinese standard.\n\nMr. WALLS thought that in some cases the coolie was well-off. In other cases he was badly treated. It was a disgrace to all of them as Britishers that no interest whatever was taken to better the condition of children. As long as the practice continued they were parties to it because they submitted to the evil being in their midst. It was their duty to press the matter home.\n\nThe resolution concerning registration, with a view to abolition of girl slavery was then unanimously passed.\n\n435\n\n1",

It might be a name or a term specific to a context not provided.\n   - \"Phlessage\" likely should be \"Telegram\" or a related term, given the context.\n   - \"Clerk's Name\" is a label and should be left as is or formatted according to Markdown rules if necessary.\n   - \"LEADENHALL STREET, EQ\" should be \"LEADENHALL STREET, E.C.\" to match the postal code format used elsewhere.\n   - \"MINCING LANE, EO\" should be \"MINCING LANE, E.C.\" for the same reason.\n   - \"MARK LANE, EC.\" should be consistent with other postal codes, so \"MARK LANE, E.C.\"\n   - \"Holborn Viaduct, E.G.\" should be \"Holborn Viaduct, E.C.\" to correct the postal code.\n   - \"Chapelur a\" is unclear and might be a misrecognition; it could be \"Chapelier\" or another term, but without context, it's speculative.\n   - \"traitanty\" is likely a misrecognition and could be \"travelling\" or another word; \"assistant engineers\" context suggests it might relate to a job or position requirement.\n   - \"coder\" is likely a misrecognition; given the context, it might be \"code\" or another term related to safety or standards.\n   - \"dsidion\" is likely \"decision\".\n   - \"apply\" was corrected from \"uply\".\n\n2. **Formatting and Markdown**:\n   - The original task requested HTML output using `` for paragraphs. The response is already in this format.\n\n3. **Other Rules**:\n   - File references and page numbering are not directly relevant here as there are no clear file references to correct and no \"Page XX\" lines.\n\nGiven these considerations, the corrected HTML output remains largely the same as the original output because the task was to output in HTML, and the corrections are mostly related to spelling and minor adjustments which have been considered:\n\nDrevy Ship Quyu\n\nTelegram Forman 8/17.)\n\n62\n\nTHE EASTERN TELEGRAPH COMPANY, LIMITED.\n\nClerk's Name.\n\nISSUED FROM\n\n41 & 42, PARLIAMENT STREET W,\n\nTo\n\nNo.\n\nREMARKS\n\nBG\n\nELECTRA HOUSE,\n\nFINSBURY PAVEMENT, E.C.\n\n11, OLD BROAD STREET, E.C.\n\n8, LEADENHALL STREET, E.C.\n\n29, MINCING LANE, E.C.

        "content_text": "## Slavery in China. A Chinese Statement.\n\n252\n\nAn article in the Canton Times of May 28th, 1920, is a communicated article signed \"S.C.W.\" and bearing the general heading of \"Some Differences in Ideas between Foreigners and Chinese\". After briefly sketching the history of Slavery from the beginning, the writer proceeds;\n\n*Considering that a hundred years ago slavery was almost a universal custom, it is not surprising to find that it still exists in some places*..... \n\nAnd the writer continues; \"Sufficiently evil in itself, this system is the garbage heap that breeds many other crimes. As long as children are bought and sold, so long will kidnapping, child-stealing, abduction, and the underground traffic continue. Those who are too callous to care for the children of others endanger the safety of their own; mothers who employ slaves are setting up competitors for their marital crown. There is no subject in which the modern woman can so distinguish herself more than in fighting for the liberty of her sex, by example, by persuasion, by combination. Worshippers of Mammon, are you proud to belong to the sex that is sold? What is the state of slavery in Canton, the home of the Constitution? Is not slavery prohibited by law, watched by the Police, interpellated in Parliament, thundered at from High places, hated by all, and banished to Hong Kong? \"Oh, friends, let us put our fingers on, and swear that it does not exist!\" \n\nExtract from a letter written by a thoroughly trustworthy Chinese, whose credentials can be vouched for, but whose name will not be given for fear of action being taken against him by the Government, whose policy appears always to be to suppress by any means, directly or indirectly, any disclosures as to the state of affairs.\n\nComer. H.L. Haslewood,\n\nDear Sir,\n\nHaving promised to send you a Chinese newspaper which has been translated from the Hong Kong Telegraph.\n\nI dare say the reply of Mr. Lau Chu Pak to the question of slavery is quite beyond the point.\n\n\"As I was living in this Colony over 20 years ago, I know thoroughly how those people treat their girl servants most unkindly. Some of them give their girl servants only 2 bowls of boiling rice and a little poor meat a day. As to our usual dinner, we have to take 6 bowls of boiling rice a day at least. Sometimes if a servant wishes to communicate with her parents or relatives, she is always prohibited from doing so by her mistress. My friend spoke to me that he had seen a lady who had a girl want about eleven years old. She treats her servant very cruelly.",

SHANGHAI, NOVEMBER 3-6, 1920.\n\n(Extracts from “British Chamber of Commerce Journal,” Shanghai, December 1920. Received in Foreign Office, March 3, 1921.)\n\n#### THE LEGATION AND THE CHAMBERS\n\nFollowing the precedent set last year, when Sir John Jordan, then His Majesty's Minister at Peking, was invited to the conference, His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires, Mr. Clive, was invited to be present on this occasion. The conference opened with a resolution expressing the Associated Chambers' gratification at his readiness, and that of His Majesty's Naval Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Duff, to attend and in the following speech Mr. Clive, after thanking the chambers for their invitation, dealt with the relation of the Legation to the association and its work.\n\nMr. Clive said: \"Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I thank you for your welcome. It is very agreeable for whoever is in charge of His Majesty's Legation, even though that charge be only a temporary one, to feel that he represents and has the support of a strong and united community. I have served in several countries, but I think I may safely say that in no one of them have I found a British community so numerous and so important as the present British community in China of which you gentlemen gathered here to-day from all corners of this vast country are among the leading representatives.\n\nYou will, I feel sure, make allowances for a new-comer, who, on the one hand, has had no experience in the art of public speaking, and on the other, feels considerable diffidence in addressing this representative gathering of old China hands.\n\nAt the same time I am moved by the thought that I have the opportunity of meeting you, of hearing your views, and of speaking to you in this model settlement of Shanghai which owes so much to British energy and initiative.\n\nI am very happy also to welcome the delegates from Hong Kong, whose presence I have no doubt will be additionally welcome to you by the recollection of the prominent part they took in last year's conference. Moreover, it is only on this occasion that members of His Majesty's Legation have an opportunity of meeting the representatives of the Crown colony for the discussion of our common interests.\n\n\"I was working in the Foreign Office at the time of your conference last November, and as I read the minutes in London I little thought that I should have the honour of being present when next you met, but I can assure you my interest could hardly have been greater had I foreseen my presence here to-day. The minutes of the last conference will stand as an abiding record of thoughtful and constructive work conceived according to the best traditions of our race. His Majesty's Government had under consideration at that time the whole question of the solidarity of British communities throughout the world; and I can assure you that those who were studying the question were deeply impressed by the very real evidence of the solidarity existing in China.\n\n\"I have read your draft agenda for the present conference, and I see there are some subjects which were before you last year. On some I fear there is not much progress to record. Currency reform and the removal of inland taxation are two of the fundamental questions which vitally affect every mercantile interest in this country, whether foreign or Chinese. As regards the latter, I cannot help feeling that we must find some practical way of showing the Chinese that the abolition of inland taxation is not as difficult as it seems on the surface and that it would pay all concerned.\n\nPage 486",

        "content_text": "89\n\n-- 38\n\nthese were among the Non-Chinese community. Pulmonary Tuberculosis claimed 1,318 Chinese and 95 non-Chinese victims whilst other forms of Tuberculosis represent an additional 576 deaths making a total of 1,894 or 15.9 per cent. of the total deaths among the community.\n\nBeri-beri was responsible for 520 deaths, as compared with 381 during 1920 and 555 in 1919. During the past few years circulars have been distributed to all large employers of coolie labour calling their attention to the fact that Beri-beri is produced by the consumption of white rice as the staple article of diet without a sufficiency of other foods, and advising that beans should be supplied with the rice, when fresh meat or fresh fish cannot be afforded.\n\nA tabular statement of the principal causes of death is appended.\n\n(e.) CLIMATE.\n\nThe principal features of the weather in 1921 were :--\n\n(i) Heavy rainfall from April 27th to July 6th, during which period 59 inches of rain fell on 9 days; and\n\na drought from September 9th to the end of the year when only 1 inch of rain fell.\n\nAbnormally low wind velocity in March, increasing gradually to normal in July.\n\nBarometric pressure was considerably above normal January, July and October, and considerably below in May-June and August. The mean pressure for the year at station level was 29.848ins. as against 29.814ins. in 1920 and 29.843ins for the past 38 years. The highest pressure was 30.323ins. on January 14th as against 30.374ins. in 1920 and 30.509ins for the past 38 years. The lowest pressure was 29.319ins. on July 24th, as against 29.208ins. in 1920 and 28.735ins. for the past 38 years.\n\nThe temperature of the air was moderately above normal in February, March, April, August and December and moderately below in January. The mean temperature for the year was 72.9 as against 72.0 in 1920 and 71.8 for the past 38 years. The highest temperature was 92.2 on August 22nd as against 93.1 in 1920 and 97.0 for the past 38 years. The lowest temperature was 44.0 on February 4th as against 45.1 in 1920 and 32.0 for the past 38 years.\n\nThe rainfall was very considerably above normal in May, and moderately above normal in March, August and September. It was considerably below normal in April, October, November and December. The total for the year was 97.340ins, as against 107.880ins. in 1920 and 84.620ins. for the past 38 years. The greatest fall in one civil day was 6.060ins. on September 3rd and the greatest in one hour was 3.250ins. between 1.30 p.m. and 2.30 p.m. on May 31st.\n\n39\n\nThe wind velocity was considerably below normal in January, March, April, May and October. In July it was normal and in the remaining months it was slightly below normal. The mean velocity for the year was 10.7 m.p.h. as against 12.0 m.p.h. in 1920 and 12.7 m.p.h. for the past 38 years. The maximum velocity for one hour as recorded by the Beckley Anemograph was 51 miles at 11 a.m. on July 24th as against 51 miles in 1920 and 108 for the past 38 years. The maximum squall velocity, as recorded by the Dines-Baxendell Anemograph, was at the rate of 69 m.p.h. at 5h. 53m. a.m. on September 3rd as against 61 m.p.h. in 1920 and 105 m.p.h. for the past 12 years.\n\nThe climate of Hongkong is similar in its broad features to that of Kowloon and the New Territories, but at the higher levels, from 1,400 to 1,800 feet above sea level the temperature is usually from 3° to 8° lower than at the Observatory, Kowloon. The humidity is usually greater than in Kowloon and approaches saturation for several days at a time during March and April when mist is very prevalent. In summer the city of Victoria, and the rising terraces behind it, derive little or no benefit from the SW monsoon, being sheltered by steep hills from SE to SW. In winter it is exposed to the NE monsoon, which occasionally blows along the harbour through Lyemun Pass with considerable violence. On the other hand the south-west side of the Island is protected from the NE monsoon in winter and enjoys the benefit of the SW monsoon in summer.\n\nX-POSTAL AND TELEGRAPH SERVICES.\n\nThe total revenue from the postal service in 1921 amounted to $644,157.54 being $118,035.46 more than that collected in 1920. The net expenditure amounted to $261,077.84. The balance of revenue over expenditure amounted to $383,079.70.\n\nThe revenue collected in 1921 from radio-telegrams amounted to $19,082.98 being $4,491.25 more than that collected in 1920. Advices of vessels signalled at the lighthouses yielded $670.60, and semaphore messages $3.30, making a total of $19,756.88 for the telegraph service. The expenditure amounted to $45,592.19. The number of radio-telegrams forwarded during the year was 2,235 consisting of 30,239 words, and 6,182 received consisting of 82,513 words.\n\nThe Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co.'s contract mail service between the United Kingdom and the Far East was resumed with the despatch of the s.s. Nellore from Hongkong on the 21st December, 1921,\n\n8th August, 1922,\n\nSafetcher\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\na.\n\nm. He Coher\n\n21\n\nPage 90\n\nPage 91",

        "content_text": "## 10. The Master's duty to defend his ship, and its consequences.\n\nIt is a tradition in the Mercantile Marine Service that the Master and his officers shall defend their ship against piratical attack. The obligation to resist pirates is also imperative under the existing Piracy Regulations. In our opinion, it is essential that this statement of duty should be maintained and emphasized. It should, we think, be the first regulation in any new series. The master and the other ship's officers must be relieved of all duty to exercise a discretion whether to resist pirates or not. Their duty must be clear. If they do not resist, their conduct should be submitted to enquiry. It is therefore just and necessary that they should be given a scheme of defence which has a good chance of success and in which each master for himself has a personal confidence. Resistance to pirates once begun cannot be abandoned. It is then a fight to a finish without quarter. The officers must be placed in the strongest possible position for defence on board their ship. They should also be able to rely on the thoroughness of the precautions taken by the Police Department and upon the support of efficient patrols. With reference to River Steamers, we are of opinion that the hand of officers will be greatly strengthened in carrying out piracy regulations if owners were required to give a bond to the Harbour Master undertaking to pay to his order a sum not exceeding three months' salary of any officer who, in the event of his summary dismissal under a contract made in this port, may be able to show to the satisfaction of the Harbour Master that his dismissal is due in any substantial degree to his observance of the regulations. We also think that the present system under which officers are liable to dismissal on 24 hours' notice is unsatisfactory and that all officers on river steamers should sign on articles for not less than three months.\n\n## 11. Conclusion.\n\nWhatever measures are adopted in the Colony to prevent piracy, their success will be only partial until public order is firmly established in the neighbouring Chinese Territories.

It is not easy to say how far the letters from these Guilds represent the views of the members as a whole, but I gather from various sources that the officers of the well-run European-controlled ships do not agree with them and that the opinions expressed are merely those of the officers of the Chinese owned vessels. In regard to these officers I would invite reference to paragraphs 6 and 9 of my despatch No.`203` of May 5th. They are, as a rule, of a very poor type and the observations made by the Naval Intelligence Officer at the \"Tei Lee\" enquiry probably apply to the great majority of them.\n\nI have the honour to be,  \nSir,  \nYour most obedient humble servant,  \n**J.

        "content_text": "## \n\n5-3 \n\nThe meeting between merchants and strikers aimed to arrive at an amicable settlement.\n\nMr. Sung reminded me of the Chinese proverb that a match-maker could bring the parties together, but could not guarantee that children would result. They would keep in close touch with the Hongkong Government, and officials would exchange informal visits, if it should appear that this would help the situation in any way. I expressed my very great obligation to them for the friendly manner in which they had received me, the frank manner in which they had discussed the problem, and for their kind hospitality. I would inform the Governor. Sung asked me to express to the Governor his appreciation of the latter's hospitality.\n\nAs we were leaving, I returned and asked if I might speak privately with Mr. C.C. Wu. I said that, as a new-comer to Shamien, I was impressed by the extraordinary state of affairs. It seemed to be in the position of a beleaguered fortress, a position which was at least anomalous and appeared to be quite unnecessary. As our Governments had arrived at a friendly understanding, could not Mr. Wu meet the Consul-General half-way and arrange for Shamien to be opened up for ordinary ingress and egress? I was not suggesting a lifting of the boycott. It would, of course, be a necessary condition that the Canton Authorities should effectively control the strike pickets so as to prevent any possibility of an incident.\n\nMr. Wu replied somewhat bitterly that the fault was entirely the Consul-General's with his absurd wire and sandbags, for which there never had been any necessity; this had disappeared months ago. He would, however, meet the Consul-General halfway in establishing friendly relations, and he would guarantee that the strikers' pickets would be effectively controlled.\n\nI informed the Vice Consul of this conversation.",

To this must be added any risks of fall in the Hong Kong exchange (I though of course if the exchange should happen to be higher at the time of redemption there would be a profit instead of a loss in this respect).\n\nFor the reasons you give I entirely agree that it would be better to let the Governor raise the loan locally as he proposes, even at 6 per cent. locally.\n\nGAAR  \nim deb herewith  \num my G.G. 6.7.27  \n7.7.27",

Ong Beng Tek, Amoy, 1888.\n\nThis man was born in Penang and held a certificate issued by the Colonial Government, but the consul at Amoy refused to register him as a **British subject** until he produced proof that his parents were also British-born subjects.\n\nNo instructions were issued pending negotiation of modus vivendi.\n\n`7070, No. 2.1`\n\nMr. O'Coner, No. 221, October 8, 1893: No. 277, December 6, 1893: No. 299, December 31, 1898.\n\nSir C. MacDonald, No. 150, November 2, 1897; No. 155, Nov. 17, 1897; No. 174, December 16, 1897: No. 4, January 13, 1899;\n\nborn subjects.\n\n7. Case of Wang Ju Yu, Chinkiang, 1893.\n\nIn December 1892, the Chinese authorities at Chinkiang complained on various occasions to the British consul (who was also in charge of American interests) that an employee, conveying foreign-owned goods from the interior to the treaty port under transit pass, had refused to submit them for examination at the li-kin stations passed en route.\n\nCertain British and American merchants also complained that their cargo had been detained. In each case, the name of the employee was Wang Ju Yü, whom the consul presumed to be a Chinese subject. On enquiry, he found that Wang Ju Yü was employed by a number of merchants to escort their goods past li-kin barriers, and further, that he claimed to be a British subject, though the merchants employing him were unaware of the fact. He had neglected to register himself, had taken out no passport, and could not produce proof, satisfactory to His Majesty's consul, of his British nationality.\n\nThe Taotai wished to question the man, and His Majesty's consul agreed, but stipulated that no steps should be taken until the man had had full opportunity of proving his nationality, which was agreed to on the understanding that bail might be required for his appearance. The Taotai then removed Wang Ju Yu to a place in the interior and refused to release him. The consul subsequently ascertained that Wang Ju Yü had been registered in previous years at Shanghai and Wuhu, and that respectable Chinese vouched that both he and his father had been born in Penang. The Chinese authorities maintained that he was a Chinese subject wearing Chinese dress, a member of the Fukien guild, and that his name had not been expunged from the register of his native district. He gained a living by defrauding the li-kin revenue, and concealed his British nationality until he got into trouble. They fully admitted that, his father and grandfather having been born in Penang, he might be a British subject by English law; but not once or twice merely, but over and over again they declared that, no matter where a man or his parents were born, if they were of Chinese descent, their allegiance to China was indelible and revived the moment they entered the country. Wang Ju Yü remained in custody from the 9th June to the 14th December, 1893, when he was released on the understanding that he should give a bond to leave Chinkiang. He was then fined 20 dollars and costs by His Majesty's consul on charges of neglecting to register and travelling in the interior without a passport.\n\n8. Li Hsieh Yuan, alias Li Feng Ai, Swatow, 1897.\n\nThis man had received a passport from the Government of the Straits Settlements, in which he was described as a British subject born in Singapore of parents both British subjects, and was accordingly registered as a British subject at His Majesty's consulate at Swatow.\n\nOn the 21st October, 1897, the Chinese authorities arrested him in the interior and refused to release him on the consul's demand, alleging that he was a member of a treasonable secret society and that he had bought his passport and had wrongfully claimed British nationality. The case was vigorously pressed in Peking, and the man was released on the 3rd November in a pitiable condition, scarcely able to walk, and with a large open wound on his hip caused by flogging.\n\nThe consul wrote to the Colonial Secretary at Singapore asking to be furnished with the proofs of Li Hsieh Yuan's nationality, and was informed that the only evidence was the man's own declaration supported by the testimony of two witnesses, one of whom had since died and the other left the Colony. Sir C. MacDonald presented a demand for the payment of 5,000 dollars compensation, and for the dismissal of the Taotai, on the ground that he had disobeyed Prince Kung's instructions of 1866 immediately to refer to the nearest British consul as soon as such individuals claimed British nationality. The Chinese authorities, however, denied that he had when first arrested claimed British nationality. Sir C. MacDonald, with the approval of the Foreign Office, pressed his demands vigorously for several months, but the termination of the case was not reported to the Foreign Office.\n\n`No. 48, March 18, 1898.`\n\n9. Oh Khun Yiong alias Khun Yiong, Amoy, 1897.\n\nKhun Yiong was born in the Straits Settlements in 1862 of parents who were both British subjects of Chinese descent. When he was 5 years old, he returned to Amoy and went to reside in the interior. He passed in China as a Chinese subject and traded at Amoy as a Chinese subject since he arrived at the years of manhood. In the course of his trade, he became indebted to a German merchant, who brought an action against him through the German consul in the Chinese court.\n\nThe latter gave judgment against him, sequestered his property in the interior, and issued a warrant to arrest him and his son, a boy of 17, born in China of a Chinese mother. Khun Yiong absconded to Singapore, obtained a passport on the 20th September, 1897, on the faith of which he was registered as a British subject at Amoy on the 1st October.\n\n`No. 174, December 16, 1897.`\n`April 13, 1998.`\n\nOn the 9th October, he complained that his property had been sequestered in the interior. His Majesty's consul wrote to the Taotai about the case, but on learning the facts offered no opposition to the execution of the judgment of the Chinese court. There appears to have been some public agitation over this case in Singapore, and a telegram on the subject was published in the \"London Times.\" \"The Chinese born in the Straits Settlements,\" it said, \"are very indignant. Everyone sympathises with them.\" `December 8, 1897.`\n\n10. Case of Attempted Fraud at Canton, 1898.\n\nHis Majesty's consul at Canton reported the following incident to Consul Brenan, to illustrate the difficulties encountered by Her Majesty's consuls in dealing with cases where British subjects of Chinese descent are concerned.\n\n`Enclosure in Sir C. MacDonald's No. 75, April 19, 1898.`\n\nRecently, an Englishman named Raymond came up from Hong Kong and applied to me for a passport and a letter of introduction to the magistrate of the Hsin-Ning district in this province. His object was to obtain the release of a Chinese British subject, who had been imprisoned by the Hsin-Ning magistrate as a means of effecting the arrest of an absconding uncle, who had made off with a portion of the land tax collected by him.\n\nThe imprisoned nephew, so Raymond informed me, was a partner of Raymond's in some Hong Kong business, and as a proof that he was entitled to British protection, he produced letters of naturalisation issued in Australia. The man's name in China was Yung Wing, and in his naturalisation papers, it was Wong-a-Tek, and there was absolutely nothing to prove that the two names referred to the same individual except Raymond's assurance to that effect.\n\nThis Raymond had no idea where he was going; he was under the influence of liquor, and was in the employment of two Chinese who had a steam launch ready to take him away to their destination as soon as he had procured the necessary documents from me. Naturally, I refused to assist the man, and I told him to return to Hong Kong.\n\nTwo days later, a respectable Englishman named Le Breton came to see me on business. I happened to mention the Raymond incident, and he then informed me that the previous week, by a curious coincidence, he had been approached by certain Chinese in Hong Kong, who had offered... \n\n## 49",

        "content_text": "168\n\n148\n\nNotes Comments\n\nTHE BLACK-NAPED ORIOLE (Oriolus chinensis indicus).\n\nFirst date reported this year March 29th perched in the top branches of a Cananga tree in the Botanical gardens, this must be an early comer as the bird was not seen until April 30th last year. On April 13th an Oriole was seen and heard in full song in a garden at Tai Po. THE ASHY DRONGO (Dicrurus leucophaeus hopwoodi).\n\nThis rare visitor has been observed in the Botanical gardens since January 6th, at the time of writing April 6th the bird is still with us. On page 65 Vol. III, No. 1, of the Hong Kong Naturalist, it was stated that this was the first time we have recorded the Ashy Drongo, this is incorrect for in February and March 1930 a solitary bird was seen in these gardens, see page 90 Vol. I, No. 2, of the Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nOn April 6th, the day on which the Black-naped Oriole was first seen, an observer watched these two rare species perched close together on the same tree in the Botanical gardens,\n\nBIRDS OF THE SHAM CHUN VALLEY.\n\nAs a typical example of the number of species of birds that can be seen in an afternoon in the New Territory, the following list is given, it was compiled by a party of five observers on March 19th whilst walking up the Sham Chun valley towards the villages of San Uk Ling and Muk Wo.\n\nThis district was entirely new ground to all in the party:-\n\nChinese Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis insignis).\nEastern Little Blue Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis bengalensis).\nEastern White-breasted Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis fusca).\nChinese Fan-tail Warbler (Cisticola juncidis tintinnabulans).\nBrown Bush-Warbler (Oreopneuste f. fuscata).\nEastern Quail (Coturnix c. japonica).\n\nSouth China Grey Tit (Parus cinereus commixtus),\nChinese Black Drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus cathœcus).\nChinese Tailor Bird (Orthotomus sutorius longicauda).\nBlack-necked Mynah (Gracupica nigricollis).\nChinese Crested Mynah (Aethiopsar c. cristatellus).\nChinese Red-vented Bulbul (Molpastes hæmorrhous chrysorrhoides).\n\nChinese Red-whiskered Bulbul (Otocompsa emeria jocosa).\nChinese Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis sinensis).\nRichard's Pipit (Anthus r. richardi).\nEastern Tree Pipit (Anthus trivialis hodgsoni).\nChinese Dayal Bird (Copsychus saularis prosthopellus).\nChinese Rufous-backed Shrike (Lanius s. schach).\n\nEastern House Swallow (Hirundo rustica gutturalis).\nWhite-rumped Swift (Apus p. pacificus).\nChinese Stonechat (Saxicola torquata stejnegeri).\nDaurian Redstart (Phœnicurus a. auroreus).\nCrow Pheasant (Centropus s. sinensis).\n\nSouth China White-Eye (Zosterops simplex simplex).\n\nNotes & Comments\n\n149\n\nChinese Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus saturatus).\nEastern Turtle Dove (Streptopelia o. orientalis).\nBlack-eared Kite (Milvus lineatus).\nEastern Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus calidus).\n\nChinese Magpie (Pica pica sericea).\nLittle Egret (Egretta g. garzetta).\nCattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis coromandus).\nChinese Blackbird (Turdus merula mandarinus).\n\nGrey Wagtail (Budytes cinereus caspicus).\nWhite-faced Wagtail (Motacilla alba leucopsis).\n\nTOTAL 34 SPECIES.\n\nIt will be noticed that several of the common species were not seen, such as the Blue Magpie, Babbling Thrush, Violet Whistling Thrush, Kestrel, Collared Crow and Cuckoo, so that it seems reasonable to suppose that by putting in a whole day upwards of 40 different species might be observed. We ask readers to endeavour to better this total and forward to us their list for comparison.\n\nNESTING NOTES.-March and early April, 1932.\n\nNests have been observed as follows:-\n\nChinese Magpie (Pica p. sericea) March 14th in University compound; March 17th Kai Lung, nest in a pine tree at 30 feet containing 3 youngsters estimated at not less than a fortnight old; March 17th near Lower Kai Lung in a pine tree at 20 feet, nest with one egg; March 19th Victoria Road in a pine tree at 15 feet,—2 eggs; March 22nd Kam Tin in a Melia tree at 30 feet,-4 eggs, these eggs were especially large for a magpie measuring 1.1 by 1.45 inches as compared with an average of 0.9 by 1.3, but as the nest was that of a Magpie and the bird was seen leaving the nest there can be no doubt as to the identity of the eggs.\n\nCollared Crow (Corvus torquatus) March 17th at San Tin situated 40 feet up in the fork of a Banyan Tree. The nest was composed of small branches, grass and mud, and contained 3 young birds about a week old; March 19th Aberdeen district in a Pine Tree at 18 feet, nest composed of small branches and pine needles lined with cotton wool, 5 eggs, four eggs were a uniform colour one egg much lighter average size of the eggs 1.6 by 1.2 inches. These are the first records we have made of the nests of these birds in the colony. The note of the Collared Crow is a harsh deep croak somewhat reminiscent of the raven.\n\nBlack-necked Mynah (Gracupica nigricollis). On April 6th two nests seen in the process of building in the fork of Bombax trees near Kam Tin village. The nests are untidy looking made chiefly of dried grasses which the birds could be seen taking to the nest.\n\nBlack-eared Kite (Milvus lineatus).\nMarch 18th below Lugard road 18 feet up in a Litsea tree, one egg very pale colour; March 18th below Harlech road 25 feet up in a Pine tree, three eggs all very pale colour; March 22nd below Stubbs Road 18 feet up in a pine tree-3 eggs, two of these eggs were heavily marked with chocolate and dark brown spots and\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nMay 1932.\n\n169",

Chartered Bank of India and Peninsular and Oriental Bank have agreed that the price of 3 per cent should be raised to 99 on the same terms as before, except that $5,000,000 will be left for public subscription.\n\nThe Treasurer considers, and I agree, that better terms cannot be obtained locally. It is very difficult to gauge the amount which the public will take up, but the Banks are of the opinion that $5,000,000 is as much as can safely be left. They, however, still guarantee the full $14,000,000.\n\n## Further Considerations\n1. The Chief Manager of Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank has again been approached, but he still maintains that 4 per cent is the lowest rate at which a local loan can be obtained.\n\n2. Notice of redemption of the present sterling loan can be given on April 15th, after which date I will proceed with the necessary legislation. Please inform me when notice has been given.\n\n## Metadata\nPage 33706134 \nREC'D 12 19.34 \n071/86525 \nNo 13 to Wild (2) Coper to CA",

The Committee reached the conclusion, which was generally accepted, that so long as such undertakings are providing adequate and efficient services, they are in principle entitled to some measure of protection, so far as their strictly local traffic is concerned, from the competition of public service vehicles conveying passengers stage by stage between points served by the trams and trolley vehicles.\n\nCC\n\n\"\n\n\"\n\nSir Cyril then proceeded to deal with what is known as the Leicester case.\n\nBriefly this was a Ministry of Transport order which forbade motor buses other than those owned by the Leicester Corporation to pick up and set down the same passenger on such portion of the route as lay within 440 yards of any Leicester tramway track.\n\nIn most areas the facts which weigh most heavily with the Commissioners are the answers to the following questions:-\n\n(1) Who first operated the route?\n\n(2) Is the proposed operator a person which can be relied upon to provide a proper service and obey the various requirements of the law?\n\n(3) Has he been regular in his past services?\n\n(4) Has he been guilty of fare-cutting or any other method of unfair competition?\n\n(5) Is the route not already adequately served?\n\n(6) Would the proposed new service be a sound commercial proposition and, if so, would it only be such to the disadvantage and expense of an existing and long established service?\n\nEven when the Commissioners have made their decision regarding new fares or a new bus route there is adequate machinery for appeal by any transport undertaking which has been adversely affected. Two recent cases of appeal relate to Middlesbrough. In one the decision on the Corporation's appeal in the first case ensured that the Corporation's tramway service and their omnibus service were given absolute protection over the whole length of their route which was affected for the first time by the operation of a competing motor bus service.\n\nThe second appeal was against the decision of the Traffic Commissioners to attach certain conditions to road service licences respecting fares. The decision on this appeal was that in order adequately to protect the services of the Middlesbrough Corporation the minimum fare on competing bus service over the Middlesbrough Municipal routes was raised from 3d. to 4d.\n\nIt was exactly such acts of injustice in England of which this company now complains that created the Road Traffic Act of 1930. Yet five years later we have the Government of Hong Kong acting in a manner which would be censured by the Home Government if the case of which we now complain were reported officially to the Ministry of Transport or about which a question were put in the House of Commons.\n\nIt is a sad commentary on the manner in which a highly efficient and long established public utility company in this Colony can be treated that it was through a Chinese newspaper that this company was first made acquainted with the startling news that a competing bus company was to be permitted by Government to reduce its fares to the lowest tram fare.\n\n75\n\nIt cannot be too strongly emphasised that the Hong Kong Government seems to be out of touch with modern policy as now being pursued by the Ministry of Transport in these matters and that such a situation as that in which we now find ourselves could not arise in England to-day. Under the Road Traffic Act of 1930, the established Transport authority for the area would be given an opportunity to submit its views regarding the probable effect on its financial integrity of any such concession to a second comer over its routes as are referred to in the article in \"C Wah Kiu Yat Po\". It is part of the Policy of the British Government in general (and its Ministry of Transport in particular) to afford adequate protection to the long-established transport authority-particularly in the case of railways and electric tramways against wasteful competition by new companies anxious to cut into the business of the recognised undertaking operating under statutory powers.\n\nIn about 4 years' time the Government will be entitled to 25% of our working profit and one would think that, as they will enjoy such a large share of the profits, the Government would take a special interest in seeing that the company received fair play. In addition to the royalty, we shoulder another very heavy obligation in respect of our permanent way. For the whole of the distance between Kennedy Town and Shaukiwan, in addition to the Happy Valley section, we maintain the centre of the roadway to the extent of about 10 miles in length and 15 feet in width.\n\nFurther, we are at present engaged in spending about $300,000 on the construction of part of the new 100 ft. Road between Causeway Bay and Taikoo and I would go so far as to say that, unless we are given an assurance by the Government that uncontrolled motor bus competition in the future will be forbidden, the Board should seriously consider to what extent the company is justified in proceeding with this big commitment on the Shaukiwan route on which it has embarked. We are not only laying our tram track but are actually building the foundations of the centre of the road (and in certain parts where the sub-soil is soft we have to resort to piling operations). Are we going to this great expense partly for the convenience of the China Motor Bus Co.? In this connection one vital point should always be borne in mind if we are to continue to consider the claims of that large proportion of the Colony's population who have very slender means. There does not exist at the present time a vehicle other than the electric tramcar which can economically carry passengers between Shaukiwan and Hong Kong at a rate of something under one cent per mile. It is only by carrying passengers in excess of, say, 30,000,000 per annum that such low fares remain a sound commercial proposition. Any hasty step, therefore, threatening to rob the Company of a large proportion of such traffic is calculated, eventually, to undermine the sound financial foundation upon which the Hong Kong Tramways Limited rests.\n\nThis would be a bad thing for the Colony and would ultimately lead to an increase in tram fares.\n\nAt present on the longest service, Shaukiwan to Western Market, (a distance of 6 miles) the Company could-under the Tramways Ordinance-charge 15 cents third class. The present charge, however, is only 5 cents.\n\nWith regard to the extension of bus routes now reported in to-day's Chinese newspapers to have been sanctioned by the Police it is significant that a similar application by the China Bus Company was considered (and presumably refused) by the Governor-in-Council as recently as November-December, 1933.\n\n(sd.)

Later, he held the Governorships of the Gold Coast, Hong-kong, Natal, and Queensland, and among the important posts he held at home was that of Under-Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (the 1st Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair) from 1914 to 1916.\n\nBorn on January 3, 1862, of a Jewish family of remarkable ability, and younger brother of the late Colonel Sir Frederic Nathan, the chemist and explosives expert, he entered the Royal Engineers in 1880, being promoted to captain in 1889 and obtaining his majority in 1898. He saw active service with the Sudan Expedition in 1884-85, when he was employed on the Sudan Railway, and with the Lushai Expedition in 1889, for which he received the medal and clasp. In 1895, Nathan was appointed Secretary to the Colonial Defence Committee, and this first brought him under the notice of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who formed a high opinion of his abilities. While still Secretary to the Committee, he was sent out to Sierra Leone in 1898 to administer the Government of that Colony. In 1900, he was appointed Governor of the Gold Coast, an appointment which he held for three years. The Ashanti War had just ended, and the Colony was still in an unsettled state. The new Governor soon began to bring about a better state of affairs. He devoted his energy to developing the resources and improving the finances of the Colony, and, in particular, pushed forward the railway into the interior, the purpose of the new line being both strategic and economic. He was popular both with the merchants and with the natives, of whose interests he made a special study; and at the end of his three years' Governorship, he left behind him a record of wise and prudent administration.\n\nIn 1903, Sir Matthew was transferred to Hong-kong, where the reputation which he had gained as Governor on the West Coast was confirmed. His term of office coincided with a period of prosperity in the Colony's affairs, and during his Governorship, the negotiations regarding the Canton-Kowloon railway took place. From 1907 to 1909, he was Governor of Natal, being the last Governor before the federation of the four South African Colonies in the Union of South Africa. During his term of office, there was some recrudescence of the native trouble in Zululand, but otherwise, the matters of chief moment were those connected with the question of federation. In 1909, his career took a different turn. On the formation of the Union, he became Secretary to the General Post Office at home, in which appointment he showed the same qualities of impartiality and judgment and mastery of the details of administration which he had shown in his Colonial appointments. His success at the G.P.O. marked him out for further promotion, and in 1911, he was appointed Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, in succession to Sir Robert Chalmers on the appointment of the latter to be Permanent Secretary of the Treasury.\n\nThen followed the Irish episode which forms the most debated period in Sir Matthew's career. Just before the outbreak of the War, it became necessary for the Government to choose a new Under-Secretary for Ireland, to prepare the way for the advent of Home Rule. His long and varied record of successful administration, coupled with his knowledge of finance and his previous experience of the difficulties connected with a change in the system of government in another part of the Empire, seemed to suggest Sir Matthew Nathan as a suitable choice for this important appointment. On the outbreak of the War, the difficulties of the Irish question were greatly increased, and the Under-Secretary, on taking up his new duties in October, 1914, had to face a most serious and menacing situation as well as the attacks of extremists who opposed the policy of the Irish Nationalist Party, in supporting the Government. The Sinn Fein movement gathered momentum, and the reluctance of the Irish Executive to take repressive measures culminated in the Irish Rebellion of Easter, 1916. The Chief Secretary (Mr. Birrell) was in England in connection with a Cabinet crisis, and Sir Matthew was in sole charge at Dublin Castle when the rebellion broke out. For its failure to warn the Government at home of the seriousness of the danger, the Irish Executive was severely criticized, and the Lord Lieutenant and the Chief Secretary resigned. The Lord Lieutenant was subsequently reappointed, while Sir Matthew Nathan was transferred to this country as Secretary of the Ministry of Pensions, where his abilities in finance and in the mastery of detail had full play.\n\nA new chapter of Sir Matthew's career opened in 1920 on his appointment as Governor of Queensland, where he remained for five years. A Labour Government was in power under Mr. Theodore, who remained Premier of the State during the greater part of Sir Matthew's term. Among the important events which occurred during his Governorship were the extension of the State Railway system and the acquisition by the Government of the Brisbane tramways. In the constitutional field, should be mentioned the abolition of the Legislative Council. Nathan was Chancellor of Queensland University in 1922-26, of which he was LL.D. He had specially devoted his attention to the question of the survey of the Great Barrier Reef, and on his return to this country, he continued his interest in the matter. It was on his initiative that the Government set up a sub-committee of the Civil Research Committee, whose recommendations led to the Barrier Reef Expedition in 1928-29. He was, in addition, chairman of several other sub-committees of the Civil Research Committee, and later of the Economic Advisory Council; he was chairman of the Sub-Committee on Geophysical Surveying in 1927 and of the Sub-Committee on Irrigation Research in 1928-30. He was also a member of the Special Commission on the Constitution of Ceylon in 1927-28, and was chairman of the Colonial Secretary's Advisory Committee on Rubber in 1926-28.\n\nSince his retirement from Queensland, Nathan had had a country home in Somerset, and took a warm interest in all local affairs. He had been an alderman of the Somerset County Council since 1927, and was president of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society in 1930-31. He was greatly interested in the preservation and classification of county records, and he did much active work on those of Somerset. In recent years, he spent much time in preparing an account of the history in the Middle Ages of the Manor of West Coker.\n\nHe was pricked for Sheriff of the county in March, 1934.\n\nSir Matthew Nathan was unmarried. He was created a C.M.G. in 1899, and was promoted to K.C.M.G. in 1902 and G.C.M.G. in 1908, during his Governorship of Natal. He was sworn a Privy Councillor for Ireland in 1914.\n\nPage 20\nPage 21\n\n## Charges to pay\n\n| S. | d. |\n| --- | --- |\n| RECEIVED Central Telegraph Office, E.C.I. | 6 |",

        "content_text": "76\n\nThe party was obtained from Coder DISTRIBUTION, 1.. and Colonel WILCOX, R.A. by the Committee appointed to supervise the handing over to the Chinese Military Delegation of all Japanese equipment.\n\n(ii) The list of Japanese and Japanese-controlled ships furnished by the Japanese in compliance with the Commander-in-Chief's General Order No. 1 was used as the basic list. Identification of the vessels on that list proved difficult, as in most cases the Japanese names and numbers of vessels located and inspected had been obliterated; in addition, many small craft were not on the list at all.\n\nFurther difficulty was encountered by the party in tracing the number of vessels known to have been allocated to or requisitioned by various units and formations under the control of the British Navy to have temporary use of such captured Japanese material as they required pending its final delivery to the Chinese.\n\nTo overcome this difficulty, the Commander-in-Chief, HONG KONG, issued a signal on October 14th to all concerned, instructing them to deposit all ex-Japanese craft under their control in the typhoon refuge at KOWLOON not later than noon on Monday, October 22nd. Any exceptional cases where surrender of craft would involve serious dislocation of essential services were to be reported to the Commodore, whose authority for retention of the craft in question was to be obtained in each specified case.\n\n(iii) The party commenced work on October 11th and, after a break on the 12th, resumed on the 13th and worked through to the 19th, with the result that the signal quoted above came to its knowledge after its labours had ceased. This caused a change of procedure to be adopted by Captain LIN, who at the commencement of operations had set out (a) to inspect all vessels in the Harbour, with a view to identifying Japanese and obtaining particulars of other Japanese vessels from authorities or units known to have taken them into temporary custody, (b) to lay claim, for the time being, to known Japanese vessels only, (c) to take particulars of any other vessel which the Chinese considered had a claim, (d) to allow any Japanese vessel in use or required for use to be retained by the authority or unit concerned, taking the precaution of recording details of the vessels with a view to referring to higher authority to decide, at a later date, whether and when the Delegation should obtain possession, and (e) to assemble any Japanese vessels not in use or required for use in the typhoon shelter at KOWLOON and off TAI YIP shipyard (north of the Cosmopolitan Dock).\n\n(iv) After receipt of the signal, the Chinese considered that compliance with that signal by all concerned would provide the necessary information upon which to base negotiations for the delivery to them of vessels not handed over. It was accordingly decided that from that time onwards only vessels obviously unguarded or under Chinese control should be investigated.\n\n(v) Two Japanese ships in the possession of Chinese companies were seized by the party despite the objections of the companies concerned, the party accepting responsibility for its actions. The British officer with the party experienced no little difficulty in dissuading the latter from seizing also a number of other vessels under the control of service personnel or the \"Auxiliary Police.\"",

Were he to be replaced as Commandant just now, the Volunteers would flop, or rather would cease to get going again.

If all of territories took this attitude, our primary object to carry out our obligations towards finding alternative posts for officers will be frustrated. Malaya is already opposing it and wants to recommend local officers, who were not previously considered suitable, for promotion rather than the gazetted officer from Palestine.\n\nMy personal view would be to press for the appointment of officers from Palestine now, but in the face of the Commissioner's strong objection, it will probably be felt that it would be very difficult to do so, and that it would be better to drop the matter for the time being and wait till Mosley returns to H.K. If this decision is taken, we must reply to (2) to the effect that the first two vacancies have been filled, but that the Commissioner of Police has asked that the third post should remain open until he returns to H.K.; our reply to (3) should also be sent to the effect that it is regretted that it has not proved possible to find an officer from elsewhere for the H.K. mechanised unit, as the only available candidate (M.

The first step is to identify and reconnect broken sentences.\n\n2. **Identify and correct obvious OCR errors**: Words like \"clanoed\", \"fist\", \"recava\", \"tece\", \"quaph\", \"Lugger\", \"drage\", \"Wilishin\", \"anchising\", \"discence\", \"úttia\", \"timat\", \"hhar\", \"kin io\", \"ни\", \"ligen\" are likely OCR errors and need correction.\n\n3. **Remove or correct nonsensical characters and words**: Characters and words like \"ག\", \"ре рил\", \"ча\", \"سيا\", \"ム\" do not form coherent English or appear to be from other languages/scripts and are likely OCR errors or artifacts.\n\n4. **Reconstruct the text based on the above steps**: Upon careful examination, a possible reconstruction could be: \"In the circumstances ... any case, we can scarcely put up a struggle... in his time... Mr. Wilkinson is licensing a corner... Come the telegram, on the lines of love discourse. We can make the assumption... has in mind is a Consultant... Jan Was... is Ministering in the their experience 148\".\n\nHowever, without a clear understanding of the original context or a more accurate OCR output, the reconstruction remains speculative.\n\nGiven the instruction to preserve original content and not to add or remove substantive words, the closest possible reconstruction is provided.\n\n\nin the circumstances 148 \nany case, we can scarcely pur up a drage... in his time min Linu...
